  • It doesn’t copy data, no. Symlink is short for symbolic link. So it’s a pointer to another location. But it might be useful for you. Taking a guess at your goal, here’s a relevant example.

    Say you moved all of your emulation stuff stored under /media/largehdd/retroarch. You could then symlink that directory to ~/.config/retroarch like so:

    ln -s /media/largehdd/retroarch ~/.config/retroarch

    That data is still stored on the large drive but will now also show under that symlinked directory.
