We strongly recommend that you install git-sym, clone git-sym-test, and try those examples.

Running

But to get started, you can test it right here. The links directory has some examples.

$ ls -l links/foo
lrwxr-xr-x  1 cdunn2001  staff  15 Jun 10 09:44 links/foo -> ../.git_sym/foo

For this example, a file called foo needs to exist in your home directory, because that is where our makefile looks for it:

$ cat git_sym.makefile
foo:
	cp -f ~/foo $@

$ touch ~/foo

Then, just run git-sym update:

git-sym update links/foo
# or
# python git_sym.py update links/foo
cat links/foo
