Netlify has support for creating redirects and rewrites using the _redirects file syntax. Borrowing from an idea I saw from Kent C. Dodds and @caarlos0, I built a script to make it easy to create short links for my website or other sites that I can then access via my newly minted go.mskelton.dev subdomain.

Here is the script in it’s entirety, feel free to peruse from the comments:

#!/bin/bash
args=()
status=""

# Parse the command line args
while [[ $# -gt 0 ]]; do
	case "$1" in
	--rewrite)
		status="200"
		shift
		;;
	*)
		args+=("$1")
		shift
		;;
	esac
done
