Symbolic Links in Linux | Use SymLinks for Anything

In this video, I go over Symbolic links in Linux. I use symlink for anything where I need certain files to show up at a spot in the file system. This can be incredible useful for linking game save file that you might share through an online cloud storage service like Dropbox without moving the file.

link a single file: $ ln -s /path/to/file /path/to/symlink

or link a folder using identical syntax: $ ln -s /path/to/dir /path/to/symlink
