hexo-versioned-netlify-redirects

This Hexo plugin uses a versions array in the Hexo configuration, which has each version on a separate version-x.y.z branch, to generate a Netlify _redirects file (a special file format).

Netlify (already) auto-deploys each branch of a repository to its own special "branch deploy" domain. By using version-x.y.z branches, this deployment should show up at: https://version-x.y.z--your-site-id.netlify.com.

Then, through the use of the _redirects file (which this plugin generates), the master branch domain (i.e. https://your-site-id.netlify.com) will automatically proxy requests which come in on a version path (specifically, /vX.Y.Z/) transparently to the special branch deployment URL.
