Hello, everyone, and welcome to this lesson.

2
00:00:05,190 --> 00:00:12,060
In this video, we are going to see how you can create symbolic links in Linux operating system.

3
00:00:12,210 --> 00:00:17,010
So let's quickly create a symbolic link and let's give it a name.

4
00:00:17,010 --> 00:00:22,440
So for that, we're going to use the command l n space, the source.

5
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:30,540
So let's say we create a symbolic link of this file, which is file one and let's give the link name

6
00:00:30,540 --> 00:00:32,100
as link one.

7
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:33,360
Perfect.

8
00:00:33,660 --> 00:00:34,710
Hit enter.

9
00:00:34,770 --> 00:00:39,210
And you can see the command has been successfully executed.

10
00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:43,020
Let's see the content over here by using the command.

11
00:00:43,020 --> 00:00:49,890
LS So we are listing and you can see we have successfully created a link which is link one which is

12
00:00:49,890 --> 00:00:53,400
pointing to file one which we have created.

13
00:00:53,580 --> 00:00:53,970
Yeah.

14
00:00:53,970 --> 00:00:57,660
You can see it is l l stands for link.

15
00:00:57,660 --> 00:01:00,870
So this is a symbolic link that we have created.

16
00:01:00,870 --> 00:01:03,270
So let me just do it over here.

17
00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:10,140
And here you can see a new file, which is basically a new symbolic link.

18
00:01:10,140 --> 00:01:14,070
Now let me make some changes in this file one.

19
00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:17,640
So let's quickly first read what is there inside it.

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,770
So it says, cool.

21
00:01:19,770 --> 00:01:22,320
So let me just modify this.

22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,290
And let's say cool and hot and let's save this.

23
00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:36,000
Let's check our symbolic link if the changes are being done automatically into that or not.

24
00:01:36,180 --> 00:01:42,420
And you can see the changes are being done into our symbolic link as well.

25
00:01:42,750 --> 00:01:50,730
Now, you can think of this as of a shortcut somewhere in which you make changes to your main file and

26
00:01:50,730 --> 00:01:54,780
it automatically gets done into your symbolic link as well.

27
00:01:54,810 --> 00:02:01,260
So I hope you guys understood how you can create symbolic links and Linux operating system.

28
00:02:01,290 --> 00:02:01,980
Thank you.
