Hello everyone and welcome to
this lesson in this video. We are
going to see how you can create symbolic links in
Linux operating system. So let's quickly
create a symbolic link and let's
give it a name. So for that we are going to use
the command Ln space the source.
So let's say we create a
symbolic link of this file, which is file one and
let's give the link name as link
one.
Perfect.
Hit enter and you can see the command
has been successfully executed. Let's see
the content over here.
By using the command LS so we are listing and
you can see we have successfully created a link which
is link one, which is pointing to
file one which we have created here. You
can see it is l l stands for
link. So this is a symbolic link that we
have created. So let me just do LS
over here and here you can see a new file
which is basically a new symbolic
link now, let me make
some changes in this file one. So let's quickly first
read. What is there inside it?
So it says cool. So let me
just modify this.
And let's say cool and hot and let's
save this.
Let's check our symbolic link if the
changes are being done automatically into that
or not. And you can see the changes are
being done into our symbolic
link as well.
now
you can think this as of a shortcut somewhere
in which you make changes to your main fight,
and it automatically gets done into your
symbolic link as well. So I hope you
guys understood how you can create symbolic links
in Linux operating system. Thank you.
