Nitro will auto-detect that you are in a [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com) environment and build the correct version of your Nuxt server. For new sites, Netlify will detect that you are using Nuxt 3 or bridge and set the publish directory to `dist` and build command to `npm run build`. If you are upgrading an existing site you should check these and update them if needed.
However, if you want to add custom redirects, you can do so by adding a [`_redirects`](https://docs.netlify.com/routing/redirects/#syntax-for-the-redirects-file) file in the [`public`](/guide/directory-structure/public) directory.
