Using HTML href="" on section of URL string

I have a URL www.foo.com/bar/hello/world Can I use href= in such as way:

<a href = "/hello/world"> LinkText </a>

In other words, because of the versioning repository I use for work, only the sublink /hello/world of the final URL will the same when I push the site live.

Only if the source code is located in 'http://www.foo.com/bar' and then it needs to be going to a valid file extension to execute an action:

<a href="/hello/world.html">LinksText</a>

For reference, see the docs

However, in href, you can either use an absolute URL, such as https://www.foo.com/bar.html or, relative, something like /bar.html, where / refers to the webserver root (but not webserver's system root), or, you can use bar.html which points to a file in the same directory level.

Basically you want to have a /hello/world link, it will point to www.foo.com/hello/world.

If you want it www.foo.com/hello/world to point at www.foo.com/bar/hello/world, you can either rewrite the URL on the server, or, redirect the users to www.foo.com/bar/hello/world

For URL rewriting, see your appropriate webserver docs
