About:
SymbolicLinker is a macOS service that integrates into the Finder's context menu, enabling users to create symbolic links (symlinks) without using the command line. It provides a seamless GUI-based workflow for developers and power users managing complex file hierarchies. This tool bridges the gap between standard Finder capabilities and advanced Unix filesystem features.

Key Features:

Finder Context Menu Integration
Command-Line Interface (CLI) Support
Supports both Symlinks and Hard Links
Lightweight and Native macOS Performance

Use Cases:

Organizing project files across different directories without duplicating data
Linking configuration files to a central version-controlled repository
Creating shortcuts to deeply nested folders for faster access

Alternatives:

ln (Terminal) – Native Unix command; requires Terminal usage but offers more granular control.
Path Finder – Paid file manager with built-in symlink tools; replaces the entire Finder experience.
