Скачать или смотреть Symlinks + VSC

What are symlinks?
Reference - https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/sym...

Why do we need it?
To access Windows folders from WSL using minimal efforts like we can do in PowerShell
Download, Desktop, Dropbox, Documents (etc are the ideal symlinks that you can create from WSL to Windows Folders which allow easy access to files in those folders as needed)

General Command to create symlinks:
ln -s TARGET DESIRED_NAME_IN_LINUX

1. Windows Downloads folder (username can be different for you) - Linux downloads
ln -s /mnt/c/Users/Bhavik/Downloads downloads

2. Windows Desktop folder (username and path can be different for you) - linux desktop
ln -s /mnt/c/Users/Bhavik/Desktop desktop

3. Windows Dropbox folder (username can be different for you) - linux dropbox
ln -s /mnt/c/Users/Bhavik/Dropbox dropbox

======================================================

Once symlinks are created, you can access them using your desired name in Linux (which is a path from the home directory you get using the cd command).

e.g. cd downloads, cd desktop, cd dropbox

You can even open whole folders in VSCode from WSL -
cd
cd downloads
code .
