Is my best be going to be a shell script which replaces symlinks with copies, or is there another way of telling Git to follow symlinks? PS: I know it's not very secure, but I only want to do it in a few specific cases. Kent Fredric NOTE: This advice is now out-dated as per comment since Git 1.6.1. Git used to behave this way, and no longer does. Git by default attempts to store symlinks instead of following them (for compactness, and it's generally what people want). However, I accidentally managed to get it to add files beyond the symlink when the symlink is a directory. I.e.: /foo/ /foo/baz

What is the difference between NTFS Junction Points and Symbolic Links?

问题 At a high level, the only obvious difference between NTFS Junction Points and Symbolic Links is that Junctions are only able to be directories, while SymLinks are allowed to also target files. What other differences between the two exist? (Note, I've already seen this question and what I'm looking for is a bit different -- that question is looking for a pro and con list, I'm looking for a set of technical differences) 回答1: Symbolic links have more functionality, while junctions almost seem to

Dynamic (Default.png) splashscreen in 3.0 [iPhone SDK]

问题 I know it's possible to create a dynamically changable Default.png by creating a symbolic link. But that's not possible in iPhone SDK 3.0 anymore (only in 2.0). How can I make this in 3.0, or is this impossible? Tim This worked on iPhone OS 2.0 http://collison.ie/blog/2008/11/dynamic-defaultpng-files-on-the-iphone but not on iPhone OS 3.0 anymore. The default-screen is always black. I can change the default-screen in the documents-folder and the symbolic-link does link to that file. I tested

问题 On localhost. I have the following directory structure: /share/www/trunk/wp-content/plugins/otherfolders /share/www/portfolio/wp-content/symlink Where symlink is a symbolic link to /trunk/.../plugins/ . Basically, this is because I need to test multiple WordPress installs and set them up, but I don\'t want to have to move plugins around and copy and paste them everywhere. However, sometimes I need to crawl up the directory tree to include a config file: $root = dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname

Check if a file is real or a symbolic link

问题 Is there a way to tell using C# if a file is real or a symbolic link? I\'ve dug through the MSDN W32 docs (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364232(VS.85).aspx), and can\'t find anything for checking this. I\'m using CreateSymbolicLink from here, and it\'s working fine. 回答1: I have some source code for symlinks posted on my blog that will allow you to: create symlinks check whether a path is a symlink retrieve the target of a symlink It also contains NUnit test cases, that you may

How to symlink python in Homebrew?

问题 For some reason it\'s no symlinking when I run `brew link python.\' I\'m getting the following error and I do what it tells me to do but it\'s not working. I have tried doing what it tells me to do but maybe I\'m not putting the formula_name right. Also, when I do \'which python\' it doesn\'t point to the Homebrew python and I need help fixing that as well. Linking /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.3...Warning: Could not link python. Unlinking.... Error: Could not symlink file: /usr/local/Cellar

Symlinks on windows?

问题 Does anyone know of a way to make/read symbolic links across versions of win32 from Python? Ideally there should be a minimum amount of platform specific code, as I need my app to be cross platform. 回答1: NTFS file system has junction points, I think you may use them instead, You can use python win32 API module for that e.g. import win32file win32file.CreateSymbolicLink(fileSrc, fileTarget, 1) If you do not want to rely on win32API module, you can always use ctypes and directly call

Enable native NTFS symbolic links for Cygwin

问题 Recent NTFS and Windows implement symlinks: NTFS junction point can be used as directory symlink since NTFS 3.0 (Windows 2000) using linkd or junction tools. NTFS symbolic link can also be used as symlink (for both file and directory) since Windows Vista using mklink tool. But on Cygwin 1.7 (installed on Windows 7), ln -s creates a text file. on Cygwin: $ ln -s -v target mylink `mylink\' -> `target\' on MinGW (or your favorite editor): $ cat mylink !<symlink>ÿþt a r g e t Is it possible to

How to resolve symbolic links in a shell script

左心房为你撑大大i 提交于 2019-11-26 07:54:07
问题 Given an absolute or relative path (in a Unix-like system), I would like to determine the full path of the target after resolving any intermediate symlinks. Bonus points for also resolving ~username notation at the same time. If the target is a directory, it might be possible to chdir() into the directory and then call getcwd(), but I really want to do this from a shell script rather than writing a C helper. Unfortunately, shells have a tendency to try to hide the existence of symlinks from
