Adding relative links to Gatsby Blog markdown

Prerequisities

• A Gatsby Blog, or if you don’t have one you can find out how to create one here.

Approach

I ran into a problem with Google Search console later on, saying that I had redirect errors on my blog. I deduced that the problem had to do with my whole <a> links, so I decided I needed relative paths in this blog.

Let’s first install gatsby-plugin-catch-links with npm install gatsby-plugin-catch-links.

Then add this plugin to your gatsby-config.js:

{
  resolve: `gatsby-plugin-catch-links`
}

And now you can change your links to:

/links-in-gatsby-blog

depending on how your folders are named.

Nothing more, nothing less.
