In reply to @spotlightkid "The reason that choosenim": > But apparently these problems are no longer as relevant. Symlinks on Windows is still pain in the ass. You need admin rights or since Windows 10 you can enable "developer mode". Developer mode opens a pop-up with warning about `security risks or harm to your device`. That would scare a lot of people from using it. Instead, Grabnim uses Junctions for Windows target. And Windows had support for junctions since forever. They work similar to symlinks, but: - only for directories - only on the same machine (can't point to remote source) - all users can create them I guess Dom (original choosenim developer) didn't know about this feature or something. Admittedly, I also discovered junctions when I was solving this problem.
