Is there a way to alias Github URLs?

[davestewart]

Hey Ives,

I hope you're doing well today :)

I'm using CS as the main way to demo my OS project Pathify, and I love it!

• https://codesandbox.io/s/github/davestewart/vuex-pathify/tree/master/demo

I want to add a second, simpler, demo to the project though, so the folder structure will change from:

demo/

to:

demos/
    features/
    hello-world/

However, the problem is going to be, that the originally-shared /s/github/... URL is already out there, so if I change the repository folder structure, that link won't work any more!

As such, is there (or could there be?) a way to "alias" repository URLs, for example:

key	value
name	Vuex Pathify Demo
type	alias
public_url	https://codesandbox.io/u/davestewart/s/vuex-pathify-demo
repo_url	https://github.com/davestewart/vuex-pathify/tree/master/demos/features

That way, if the GitHub structure ever changes, I can just update the repo_url the alias points to.

This could give project owners a greater sense of ownership on the CS platform as they could look to manage and link directly to their demos.

Does that make sense?

Maybe I missed something and there is already an easier way to share canonical URLs...

Cheers,
Dave
