How to change redirect_to in devise with custom controller?

I use devise with custom controller (user controller). Rather than logging in and going to user/edit, I prefer to serve the home page. To do so, I need to edit the devise session create controller method.

I know I can edit the devise custom controller by following the instructions devise provides:

  # before_action :configure_sign_in_params, only: [:create]

  # GET /resource/sign_in
  # def new
  #   super
  # end

  # POST /resource/sign_in
  # def create
  #   super
  # end

  # DELETE /resource/sign_out
  # def destroy
  #   super
  # end

  # protected

  # If you have extra params to permit, append them to the sanitizer.
  # def configure_sign_in_params
  #   devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_in, keys: [:attribute])
  # end

So following those instructions, how do I simply have the create method do exactly what it currently does, but redirect_to "/" rather than what it's currently doing?

Note here's what it's currently doing:

self.resource = resource_class.new(sign_in_params)
clean_up_passwords(resource)
yield resource if block_given?
respond_with(resource, serialize_options(resource))

Also note, I could copy that code directly from devise on github, then edit it, like so:

self.resource = resource_class.new(sign_in_params)
clean_up_passwords(resource)
yield resource if block_given?
redirect to: "/"

but I want to do this using the super method as that's what's recommended in the devise instructions.

No need to redefine create action, as Devise allows you to do just that with after_sign_in_path_for method.

def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
  root_path
end
