Symbolic links on windows #26

Closed yaelatletl closed 1 year ago

yaelatletl commented 1 year ago

The repo is perfectly usable on Windows, but the symbolic links are not added by default and are confusing for most users. These cause other problems as well when using visual git clients such as GitKraken, which breaks after a few commits.

A solution could be changing these symbolic links to static directories, at the cost of manually updating every example. Another solution would be including commands for adding these links in the installation docs. (Must be run on a PowerShell with Administrator access)
