URL is an URL manager (and shortener) powered by Cecil (a static site generator).

How does it work?

URL is files based, so it nead a file to handle the redirection from the slug to the target URL.
So you just have to create this file then URL does the rest of the job.

URL creates:

an HTML file for each URL including the HTML redirect
a Netlify Redirects file
an Apache .htaccess file

Usage

Create an URL

To create a new URL just create a Markdown file in the pages/ directory, with a redirect variable stored in the front matter.

Example

File name: ggl.md

File content:

---
redirect: https://www.google.com/search?q=cecil+static
---
