R0_Module _Section _Soft vs Hard link tak1

I find it’s Simulink as useful tool in tracking Dotfile with git and create its symlink in home
directory Symlinks, or symbolic links, in Linux are lightweight references to files or directories.
Unlike hard links, they can span different file systems and are similar to shortcuts in Windows.
They are created using the ln -s command, where -s specifies the link should be soft. To remove
a symlink, you can use either unlink or rm. Broken symlinks occur when the target file or
directory is moved or deleted and can be found using find with the -xtype l option. Deleting
them can be done with the -delete option in find. Symlinks are a powerful tool for simplifying
file system navigation and management in Linux and UNIX systems.
