how do I?

create a symbolic link

Give me another twenty years and I will still be forgetting the syntax/ordering for doing this in Bash.

# to create
ln -s <path to file> <link destination>

# to create or update
ln -sf <path to file> <link destination>
# to create
New-Item <path to file> -Value <link destination> -ItemType 'SymbolicLink'

# to create or update
New-Item <path to file> -Value <link destination> -ItemType 'SymbolicLink' -Force
