Change destination for shortened links
See original GitHub issueThe shortened bit.ly links in the project would not redirect to the website since bitly doesn’t let users except enterprise users change the destination of links.
This poses a problem for all the shortlinks that are already in the wild, as all of them would now redirect to https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/template/README.md
We have a few options, switch to a service that lets us edit the destination of shortlinks, like
This still leaves us with problems like in #5497
Second, we could document in the readme the new destination for the links, this would help the more than 4k people who clicked on the PWA link alone this month.

I’m sure an email to them could get this straightened out. 😄
We’ve merged #5808 and I’ve created a follow up #5910 to remove the bit.ly links from the template so I think we can close this now.
