You can turn relative paths into full paths using readlink -f foo. So you would do something like: ln -s $(readlink -f $origlink) $newlink rm $origlink EDIT: I noticed that you wish to keep the paths relative. In this case, after you move the link, you can use symlinks -c to convert the absolute paths … Read more

EDIT 1 Be careful when using followlinks=True. According to the documentation: Note: Be aware that setting followlinks to True can lead to infinite recursion if a link points to … Read more

New-Item, Remove-Item, and Get-ChildItem have been enhanced to support creating and managing symbolic links. The -ItemType parameter for New-Item accepts a new value, SymbolicLink. Now you can create symbolic links in a single line by running the New-Item cmdlet. What’s New in Windows PowerShell v5 I’ve checked the symlink support on the my Windows 7 … Read more
If you want the file to appear instead of the link, you should probably use the ln command to create a hard-link instead of a sym-link (ln -s). Making a hard-link, you can make the same file to appear under two different directories, so changing it via any of the links will reflect changes via … Read more
