How to create a symbolic link directory in Linux?

In Linux, you can create symbolic links to directories using the ‘ln -s’ command. Here are the specific steps:

  1. Open the terminal.
  2. compact disc
  3. create symbolic link
  4. Can you send me the URL?
  5. objective
ln -s target link

Note: The target can be a relative path or an absolute path.

4. To verify if the symbolic link directory was successfully created, you can use the ls -l command to view detailed information about the directory. The symbolic link directory will be indicated by an arrow (->) pointing to the target directory.

Please note that a symbolic link directory is a shortcut to the target directory. Modifying files or directories within the symbolic link directory will directly impact the target directory, while deleting the symbolic link directory will not remove files or directories from the target directory.
