Description

Let's figure out how to properly build this to allow search indexing but disallow any nefarious behaviour.

Contributor guide

No contributing guide indexed for this repository

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the site's build and deployment entry points to determine how /robots.txt is generated, then reproduce the 404 at shift2bikes.org/robots.txt. Use the issue's intended search-indexing and crawler restrictions as acceptance criteria; done means the URL serves a valid robots.txt rather than a 404 with the agreed rules.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
