I know that in a php script:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); will follow redirects. Is there a way to follow redirects with command line cURL?

To follow redirect with Curl, use the -L or --location command-line option. This flag tells Curl to resend the request to the new address. When you send a POST request, and the server responds with one of the codes 301, 302, or 303, Curl will make the subsequent request using the GET method.
cURL, which stands for client URL, is a command line tool that developers use to transfer data to and from a server. At the most fundamental, cURL lets you talk to a server by specifying the location (in the form of a URL) and the data you want to send.
To make a GET request using Curl, run the curl command followed by the target URL. Curl automatically selects the HTTP GET request method unless you use the -X, --request, or -d command-line option.
Does Google crawl and index redirects? No, it does not. This means that if you redirect from one page to another, the content on the original page will not get indexed. Only the target URL will be crawled and indexed by the search engine.
Use the location header flag:
curl -L <URL>

As said, to follow redirects you can use the flag -L or --location:
curl -L http://www.example.com But, if you want limit the number of redirects, add the parameter --max-redirs
--max-redirs <num>Set maximum number of redirection-followings allowed. If
-L,--locationis used, this option can be used to prevent curl from following redirections "in absurdum". By default, the limit is set to 50 redirections. Set this option to -1 to make it limitless. If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
