Has anyone ever tried making symlinks on windows?

OH MY GOD. How can someone fuckup something so simple. It really pisses me off.

I mean. I am obliged to `git submodule add` because i can't `ln -s`

    @exelix yeah, tried it it made a <SYMLINK> file or something like that. Fucked up git (it went crazy telling that remote did not exist wtf, repaired when i deleted the symlink file) and sublime text did not recognize the link...

    mklink works fine, haven't seen a Windows program having trouble with it 😒

    Haha
    Symlinks in Windows fail so badly. Almost nothing works correctly with them.

    @jsmrcaga if you are trying to link a folder you should use mklink /D i use it all the time to move stuff away from the ssd and never had any issues
