My Workflow

Easily create your personal short url and deploy to Vercel with GitHub Actions.

Just create a new repository with this template, add your Vercel Secrets, then edit redirects.yml to suit your need.

There is an existing solution for this but it is configuring through routes or redirects properties in vercel.json. My solution uses yaml which is easier to work with and also supports dynamic path/querystring.

Here is an example of all configurable features.

- from: /me
  to: https://github.com/ThewBear
  status: 308 # Change status code ex. 301, 302, 307 (Default), 308
- from: /google/:q # Match exactly one ex. /google/recursion
  to: https://google.com/search?q=:q
- from: /vercel/:slug* # Match zero or more ex. /vercel /vercel/docs /vercel/solutions/nextjs
