> Create links to files and directories.
> More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/ln-invocation.html>.
- Create a symbolic link to a file or directory:
`ln {{[-s|--symbolic]}} /{{path/to/file_or_directory}} {{path/to/symlink}}`
- Create a symbolic link relative to where the link is located:
`ln {{[-s|--symbolic]}} {{path/to/file_or_directory}} {{path/to/symlink}}`
- Overwrite an existing symbolic link to point to a different file:
`ln {{[-sf|--symbolic --force]}} /{{path/to/new_file}} {{path/to/symlink}}`
