s-c.sh

The styled-components link shortener, based on netlify-shortener.

Adding a new short link

All you have to do to add a new short link is to edit the _redirects file and add your redirect at the very top in the format /<short> https://link.com. For example:

/medium     https://medium.com/styled-components
/css-prop   https://medium.com/styled-components/announcing-native-support-for-the-css-prop-in-styled-components-245ca5252feb

Now s-c.sh/medium will redirect to the styled-components Medium publication, and s-c.sh/css-prop to the CSS prop announcement post!

From the command line

You can also use the netlify-shortener CLI locally to add new short links, which will make sure the _redirects file is in the right format. To do so, you need to set up this repository locally:

1. Clone the repo with git clone [email protected]:styled-components/s-c.sh
2. Install the dependencies with npm install (or yarn)

Once you have the repo set up locally, you simply have to run one command to add a new shortcode:

npm run shorten <url> <slug>

# for example
npm run shorten https://styled-components.com/docs d # s-c.sh/d will redirect to the docs now

Note that you need to have write access to the repository for this to work. If that is not the case, you'll need to fork the repo first and push to your fork before submitting a PR.

How does it work?

Redirects are added to the _redirects file, which is deployed to Netlify and handled by them. The master branch in this repo is always in sync with s-c.sh!
