I just looked at the contents of a directory and noticed some files are showing as symbolic links:
% ls -l
-rw-r--r--@ 1 pglatz staff 973 Mar 17 15:53 README.md
drwxr-xr-x 3 pglatz staff 96 Mar 22 17:33 css
-rw-r--r--@ 1 pglatz staff 228 Apr 3 12:10 node_usage.info.yml
-rw-r--r-- 1 pglatz staff 498 Mar 17 16:40 node_usage.install
-rw-r--r-- 1 pglatz staff 74 Mar 20 13:40 node_usage.libraries.yml
-rw-r--r-- 1 pglatz staff 135 Nov 15 09:38 node_usage.links.menu.yml
I'm about to release these as contributed Drupal module, and am not sure what would happen if I commit these to git. And I'm not sure why some are symbolic links. Can I fix them to not be symbolic links, or is this really an issue?
@after file mode bits does not indicate a symbolic link - see File Permissions mode ending in @ or + – steeldriver Apr 05 '22 at 02:33lin the first position and a->to where they point:lrwxrwxrwx user group foo -> bar– Philippos Apr 05 '22 at 07:04
