Going to 8173.uk or any of its subpaths will redirect to a different page, either one under our website gearzero.uk or anywhere else on the web. Practically, it's our own URL shortening service. Technically, it's a very simple static site (so it can be hosted as static files without a backend needed). Right now, the URLs aren't private but they could be made so by making the code repository private.

Let's say you want the URL https://8173.uk/foobar to redirect to https://gearzero.uk/the-long-time-weve-spent-fooing-and-baring. You would do this the following way:

• Create a new folder called foobar.
• Create a file called index.html inside the folder, and copy the contents of the root folder's index.html into it. Your access rights probably require you to make a fork of this repository; the Git forge (right now, GitHub) will show you how to.
• Change both instances of https://gearzero.uk" to https://gearzero.uk/the-long-time-weve-spent-fooing-and-baring.
• Save, commit, and open a pull/merge request with your changes (the forge also guides you here).
• Once the changes have been merged, the link will work!

Create a folder foo in the root of this repository, then a folder bar inside foo, then the index.html file inside this bar folder.
