For people migrating existing published content to Hugo theres a good chance
you need a mechanism to handle redirecting old urls.
Luckily, this can be handled easily with aliases in Hugo.
## Example
**content/posts/my-awesome-blog-post.md**
---
aliases:
- /posts/my-original-url/
- /2010/even-earlier-url.html
---
Now when you go to any of the aliases locations they
will redirect to the page.
## Important Behaviors
1. *Hugo makes no assumptions about aliases. They also don't change based
on your UglyUrls setting. You need to provide absolute path to your webroot and the
complete filename or directory.*
2. *Aliases are rendered prior to any content and will be overwritten by
any content with the same location.*
