Get rid of Netlify "Pretty URLs" when using Jekyll

netlify-remove-pretty-urls.markdown

Disable Netlify's Pretty URLs feature and add redirects to avoid breaking links to your site.

Followup to my rant on Twitter.

1. Turn off Pretty URLs on Netlify under Siteconfiguration > Build & deploy > Post processing > Pretty URLs
2. Build the site locally, by running jekyll build.
3. Run for url in $(find _site -name "*.html" -not -name "index.html"); do echo "$(echo $url | sed s,_site,, | sed s/.html//) $(echo $url | sed s,_site,,)"; done >> _redirects
4. Run for url in $(find _site -name index.html -not -path _site/index.html); do echo "$(echo $url | sed s,_site,, | sed s,/index.html,,) $(echo $url | sed s,_site,,)"; done >> _redirects
5. Commit and push _redirects.

Assumes a default Jekyll configuration, tweak the shell commands when needed.
