I have a project hosted on GitHub and I use Git for source versioning. I have to pull the code on another platform but it can't have Git, so I am using Subversion Support of GitHub to checkout the code, but it doesn't handle symlinks. For example, on my machine I have a symlink : sf -> ../lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf But when the ...
Our svn-repositories usually consist out of several branches of which 1 is the 'live' version. Currently we make that one the trunk, but this has some drawbacks; everytime we migrate to a new branch, we have to rename the trunk to become a branch or delete it altogether and rename a branch to become the trunk. We would rather have no tru...
Hello, I am using capistrano to deploy my Ruby on Rails project. I am on a Dreamhost VPS and since a few weeks ago, with no change in capistrano or passenger, I began to experience a strange problem with the deployment: Every time capistrano is deploying my application, everything goes right except deploy:symlink (which is called by de...
I tried to create a symbolic link in python site-packages directory using mklink /D syntax (on Windows 7 machine). Unfortunaly the module is not found when using import clause. When I copy the module physicaly to site-package directory, it works ok. Am I doing something wrong or is this just not possible on windows. I am using python 2.6...

On my localhost box I have the following directory structure: /share/www/trunk/wp-content/plugins/otherfolders /share/www/portfolio/wp-content/symlink Where symlink is a symbolic link to /trunk/.../plugins/. Basically, this is because I need to test multiple WordPress installs and set them up, but I don't want to have to move plugins ...
I need to process a number of directories, determine what files in them are symlinks, and what they link to. This sounds simple, but I have no control over the presence of control or other characters in the file names, and I need a robust solution. So, given a file of arbitrary name, how do I safely determine what it links to, when the ...
I am setting up a project that will be shared among several programmers at my organization. We are using git--to which I am a newcomer. The project directory includes symbolic links to documentation directories that should not be under version control. I want to maintain the symlinks under version control as symlinks, rather than havi...
Normally to change a symlink target one will first unlink the file and then re-creating the symlink with the new target path. However it will be assigned a new inode number. Maybe there is a private Mac api with an update_target_for_symlink() function, so the inode can stay the same? In case you wonder what I need it for.. a file mana...
Hey Guys, I'm not a server guru (unfortunately) but have a decent knowledge of linux & bsd. I'm trying to symlink multiple instances of HLDS (game server) but need to exclude certain folders & config files to achieve this properly. I need to do it this way as HLDS loads many mods automatically, and putting an exception to disable the mo...
Hello, I have a project that contains few folders and a symbolic link to one of them. I want to ignore the symbolic link to avoid version control on it -which causes duplicate commits etc. How can I add this symbolic link to ignore list without affecting the original directory? ...
Hi, I'd like to use the method described here to use subversion for Wordpress development: http://www.aaronwhitman.com/2010/01/subversion-repository-with-wordpress-external/ Does anyone know of linkd.exe will do the job for the symlinking part? thanks! ...
The problem is that when Hudson checks out the files, it doesn't use symlinks. I've tried the svn13 and svn14 plug ins, but neither worked. ...
I'm trying to store all my profile configuration files (~/.xxx) in git. I'm pretty horrible at bash scripting but I imagine this will be pretty straight forward for you scripting gurus. Basically, I'd like a script that will create symbolic links in my home directory to files in my repo. Twist is, I'd like it warn and prompt for overwri...
I have a script which unzips a whole lot of files under a single directory, some of which are symbolic links. I want to know how to change the script so that, one the unzip has finished, I can get rid of all the symbolic links that were created. ...
I was trying to set up a bash command in Terminal on a Mac. The scripts run correctly when I execute them directly. I set up symlinks in /usr/local/bin/ to the current location of the scripts. When I try to run it off the symlink, it doesn't work. I don't believe the issue is the $PATH, because pip, git, ipython all exist in this loc...
Is it possible to tell Git to ignore symlinks ? I'm working with a mixed Linux / Windows environment and, as you know, symlinks are handled very differently between the two. ...
I've been focusing on Clojure recently as a possible functional language to do systems scripting. Until, it dawned on me that having the JVM underneath means I'm limited to Java's capability. So, how do I create a symlink? Or a hard link? I mean without (sh "ln" ...). ...
