hexo-versioned-netlify-redirects
This Hexo plugin uses a versions
array in the Hexo configuration, which
has each version on a separate version-x.y.z
branch, to generate a
Netlify _redirects
file (a special
file format).
Netlify (already) auto-deploys each branch of a repository to its own special
"branch deploy" domain. By using version-x.y.z
branches, this deployment
should show up at: https://version-x.y.z--your-site-id.netlify.com
.
Then, through the use of the _redirects
file (which this plugin generates),
the master
branch domain (i.e. https://your-site-id.netlify.com
) will
automatically proxy requests which come in on a version path (specifically,
/vX.Y.Z/
) transparently to the special branch deployment URL.
