Edit and manage symbolic links from the Explorer in VS Code.
Commands
symlink-edit.openLinkContent : Open a symlink file as raw text (shows the link target).
symlink-edit.revealTarget : Reveal the symlink target in the Explorer.
symlink-edit.pasteAsSymlink : Paste a path from the clipboard as a symlink into the selected folder. Please use Copy Path instead of Copy to get the path in the Explorer.
symlink-edit.copyAbsolutePath : Copy the resolved absolute path of the selected file or symlink to the clipboard.
Settings
symlink-edit.useRelativeSymlinks (boolean, default: true) : When enabled, Paste as Symlink prefers creating relative symlinks for sources inside the workspace. When disabled, Paste as Symlink always creates absolute symlinks.
Platform notes
