You can pass in the status to the redirect in the route statement. For example, to do a 302 redirect:

In the routes.rb

get '/old/path', to: redirect('/new/path', status: 302)

I hope this helps someone else!

it's also possible to write `get '/make_donation' => redirect('/new/path', status: 302)` which is a bit shorter – trushkevich Nov 26 '15 at 19:24
You can also write it in a more declarative manner `get '/old/path', to: redirect('/new/path', status: :moved_permanently)` – Kruupös Dec 20 '21 at 15:20
