Symbolic Links
Uses of Symbolic Links:
- Organization and Access:You can create symbolic links to files or directories in different locations, making it easier to access them from a single location.
- Software Management:You can use symbolic links to point to different versions of software or libraries, allowing you to switch between them easily.
- Backup and Restore:Symbolic links can be used to create backups of files or directories, making it easier to restore them in case of data loss.
- Cross-Drive/File System Access:Symbolic links can point to files or directories on different drives or file systems, allowing you to access them transparently.
- Config Files:You can store config files in a central location and symlink them to the places where they are needed.
