Symbolic link

Introduction

Create a symbolic link to the file.

Warning

On Windows, you need elevated permissions to create symbolic links, unless Developer Mode is enabled. Otherwise, you can use the Shortcut or Hard link actions.

Options

  • dest: where to create the symbolic link (absolute, or relative to the source file's directory). Supports {key} placeholders (see Loader) resolved at execution time.
  • create: whether to create the destination directory if it doesn't exist (default: true)
  • overwrite: set to true to will overwrite any already existing file (default: false)

Examples

{
    "type": "symlink",
    "dest": "Link to this file"
}
