There is nothing hard in creating Symbolic links in Linux – you just need to follow one simple step. The ln command in Linux creates links between source files and directories. -s – the command for Symbolic Links. [Symbolic filename] – name of the symbolic link.
Ln Command to Create Symbolic Links By default, the ln command creates a hard link. Use the -s option to create a soft (symbolic) link. The -f option will force the command to overwrite a file that already exists. Source is the file or directory being linked to.
Under Windows you create a symlink with mklink /d. Attention under Windows its target and then source.
mklink /d "D:\wamp\www\magento\app\design\adminhtml\default\default\template\
company\name\" "D:\wamp\www\plugin-magento\app\design\adminhtml\default\default\template\company\name\"
