Rewrite rule for root path "/"

[bledari]

Summary

Locally I want "http://localhost:3000/" to transparently go to "example.com"

I can map subpaths successfully with the same rewrite feature, for example "http://localhost:3000/us" -> "example.com/us" ... etc, but for root it not clear what would the config be.

I am following this ("next": "14.1.0")
https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/api-reference/next-config-js/rewrites

I need solution for v14.1.0 and v12.1.0
https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/v12.1.0/docs/api-reference/next.config.js/rewrites.md

Hi,

I tried with:

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  async rewrites() {
    return {
      beforeFiles: [{ source: "/", destination: "https://example.com" }],
    };
  },
};

export default nextConfig;

And it works, the / goes to example, and other routes take me to the Next.js page.

It works, thank you!
