ln Command Generator
Generate ln commands to create links between files
Getting Started with ln
## What is ln?
The `ln` command creates links between files. By default it creates a hard link; use `-s` to create a symbolic link (symlink), which is more commonly used and works across filesystems.
## How to Use
1. **Set Options**: Add `-s` for a symbolic link (recommended for most cases). 2. **Specify Target**: Enter the file the link points to. 3. **Specify Link Name**: Enter the name of the new link. 4. **Copy & Run**: Copy the generated command into your terminal.
Common Options
### `-s` Symbolic Create a symbolic link instead of a hard link. Symbolic links work across filesystems and can point to directories.
### `-f` Force Remove existing destination files before creating the link. Useful for replacing an old symlink.
