Manage short linksas code

v8s.link is the public vanityURLs reference instance: a Cloudflare Worker, static assets, and a Git-managed registry for your own short-link domain

Everything you need, nothing you don't

A Git-native, edge-delivered URL platform with full control and zero lock-in

Link as Code

Define short URLs in v8s-links.txt, versioned and reviewed in Git

CLI First

Create exact links, splat links, schedules, and lifecycle states from local files

Git History

Track changes, review via pull requests, and roll back instantly

Edge Delivery

Serve redirects globally using Cloudflare Workers for low latency

Custom Domains

Use your own domain for branded, trusted, and permanent short links

Auto Deploy

Push changes to GitHub and let Cloudflare Workers deploy the generated site

Repo Control

Use public or private repositories to manage visibility and access

Structured URLs

Organize links with paths, prefixes, and scalable naming conventions

Infra as Code

Manage links like infrastructure, integrated into CI/CD workflows

No Lock-In

Own your data, domain, and hosting — no dependency on SaaS platforms

Protected Operations

Keep _stats and test surfaces behind Cloudflare Access while public redirects stay fast

Low Cost

Operate on free-tier infrastructure with minimal ongoing cost

How it works

From zero to live short links in four steps

1

Buy a domain

Register any domain you like, such as v8s.link, or bring one you already own

2

Define links in v8s-links.txt

Add pipe-delimited link rows with slug, target, state, metadata, owner, expiry, and notes

3

Deploy as a Cloudflare Worker

Wrangler builds defaults plus custom overrides, publishes static assets, and routes through the Worker

4

Commit changes to deploy globally

Every git push triggers an automatic deploy. Your changes are live worldwide in ~15 seconds — no manual steps, no dashboards, no waiting
