Set up Redirects

This starter supports a redirects property on posts so that you can define alias urls for blog posts. This won't work out of the box. We use the createRedirect Gatsby actions (docs) which requires an additional plugin to be added to your site, given what provider you deploy your site to. Two popular ones are gatsby-plugin-netlify or gatsby-plugin-s3.
