Description
Windows has 2 types of symbolic links:
- Shortcuts (
.lnk
files), which can be created by any user by usingRight Click > Create Shortcut
in the Windows File Explorer. They are admittedly not very elegant, as they're binary files. - Symlinks, which take effect in the filesystem level, as you'd expect coming from Linux. Unfortunately, they are a relatively new addition to Windows and can be created by administrators only, via the PowerShell command
new-item -itemtype symboliclink -value '\path\to\real-dir' -path 'symlinked-dir'
lf
currently (understandably) treats .lnk
files as regular binary files, but the expected behavior would be to follow them as if they're symbolic links - as done by Go packages such as https://github.com/nyaosorg/go-windows-shortcut.
