|  | 12 | +<!-- AUTO-GENERATED-CONTENT:START (GENERATE_LESSONS_STEPS)--> | 
|  | 13 | +1. Create a `netlify.toml` file in your project. | 
|  | 14 | + | 
|  | 15 | + The `netlify.toml` file is where we configure how the site builds and where your serverless functions live. | 
|  | 16 | + | 
|  | 17 | +2. In `netlify.toml`, add a `[build]` section and add `publish` and `functions` values | 
|  | 18 | + | 
|  | 19 | +3. We need to create this site in Netlify | 
|  | 20 | + | 
|  | 21 | + Open your terminal and run the following command: | 
|  | 22 | + | 
|  | 23 | + ```bash | 
|  | 24 | + netlify init | 
|  | 25 | + ``` | 
|  | 26 | + | 
|  | 27 | + Choose manual deployments | 
|  | 28 | + | 
|  | 29 | +5. After configuring your redirect, its time to deploy | 
|  | 30 | + | 
|  | 31 | + Open your terminal and run the following command: | 
|  | 32 | + | 
|  | 33 | + ```bash | 
|  | 34 | + netlify deploy -p | 
|  | 35 | + ``` | 
|  | 36 | + | 
|  | 37 | +6. Invoke the function to ensure it's working properly | 
|  | 38 | + | 
|  | 39 | + Visit your site and the URL https://your-site-url.netlify.com/.netlify/functions/redirect | 
|  | 40 | + | 
|  | 41 | + It should redirect you to a new location. |
