Make Linux created symlinks work in Windows












0















im working on an windows host with linux vm & git.



Is it possible to make linux created symlinks somehow work in windows 10?
I have some linux symlinks from our git repository. In cmd it shows the symlink folder as



09.01.2019  10:34    <SYMLINK>      data [..data]


But if i try to access it with "cd data", cmd just says invalid folder.



Few month ago these symlinks worked in windows 10 but with some update (i think it was the windows 10 creators fall 2018 update) windows couldnt work with these links anymore.



I could workaround with that some time, but now we have a new crucial symlink which is needed to continue work with git.



Any help would be appreciated



Thanks in advance,
Chris
