A symbolic link is a pointer to another file or folder.
# windows
New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "<link-path>" -Target "<real-path>"
# unix
ln -s "<real-path>" "<link-path>"
For some reason the previous command doesn't work correctly on Mac. Use this method.
cd "<linked-path-location>"
ln -s "<real-path>" <link-name>
