symbolic link creation

A symbolic link, or symlink, is like a shortcut or pointer to a file or folder on your computer. Instead of containing the actual data, it holds a reference to the location of the original file or folder. Creating a symlink allows you to access the target from a different part of your file system without duplicating the data. This makes organization easier and saves storage space. When you open the symlink, your system follows the link to access the actual file seamlessly, making it a useful tool for managing complex file structures efficiently.
