So today I used the ln utility or link utility, so here is how you make a symbolic link, trust me they are very useful especially when you have external Hard Drives.<\/p>\n
Open the Terminal. Type, cd ~\/<\/strong> that will put you in your home directory. I get tired or typing that everytime so I finally created a symbolic link in my home directory. So now I type To create the symbolic link type ln -fs \/Volumes\/Mac\\ HD\/FernyB\/~ror ~\/~ror <\/strong> See that is why symbolic links are cool….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So today I used the ln utility or link utility, so here is how you make a symbolic link, trust me they are very useful especially when you have external Hard Drives.

\nOkay now. look for your target, in my case I was practicing some Ruby On Rails stuff because I am a noob at it. Not stupid just new with it and I don’t always have time, anyways the case is that I keep all my RoR files in my external hard drives which has the path \/Volumes\/Mac\\ HD\/FernyB\/~ror<\/strong><\/p>\n
\ncd ~\/~ror<\/strong> and that will drop me into the directory where I keep my RoR files which again is \/Volumes\/Mac\\ HD\/FernyB\/~ror<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nSo now when I am in my home directory all I type is cd ~\/~ror<\/strong> and this will put me into the \/Volumes\/Mac\\ HD\/FernyB\/~ror<\/strong> directory. So if I type pwd<\/strong> the path will show as \/Users\/FernyB\/~ror<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
