Linux In The Shell aims to explore the use of many commands a user can run in the Bash Shell. Tutorials include a write up with examples, an audio component about the write up, and a video component to demonstrate the usage of the command. <br />

The ln command is used to create a link between an existing file and a destination, typically newly created, file. Some operating systems may all this creating a short-cut. Recall that Linux treats everything like a file, thus you can create links to files, directories, or even devices.<br />
<br />
There are two types of links:<br />
<br />
Hard Links: A hard like is a connection where two files share the same inode.<br />
Symbolic Links: A symbolic link is a special file that refers to a different file.
