How do I create redirects on a static website?

I have a jekyll website hosted on GitHub pages.

I want to create short links that point elsewhere. For example example.com/l can redirect to linkedin.com/example.

Is there a way to achieve this on a statically hosted site without messing with my domain registrar?

Solution

  • You can use a <meta> tag added to the <head> section of the page.

    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url='https://your.redirect.here'" />

    This will redirect the browser on page load.
