-
Save an xml sitemap to your machine. (I used http://gatsbyjs.com/sitemap.xml)
-
Update the basepath in
curl-redirects.pyto point at a deployed version of your site on a hosting provider like Netlify or Fastly (where redirects are actually setup). Deploy previews like on Gatsby Cloud won't have redirects created so wouldn't work, this means you may have to deploy to a new site to a netlify subdomain. -
Run
./curl-redirects.pyin your terminal. It will take awhile to run and write output into a txt file
