git add 软链接

So, what does Git do when you add a symbolic link to the index?

First, make a symbolic link:

$ ln -s /path/referenced/by/symlink symlink

Git doesn't know about this file yet. git ls-files lets you inspect your index (-s prints stat-like output):

$ git ls-files -s ./symlink
[nothing]

Now, add the symbolic link to the index. When you add a file to the index, Git copies its contents in the object store.

$ git add ./symlink
