The purpose of this post is to remind myself how to create links in PowerShell. Nowadays (since mid-August 2016) PowerShell is cross-platform and open-source (with MIT license).

Cmdlets

Commands in PowerShell are called cmdlets. There are two of them to create links: New-HardLink for creating hard links and New-Symlink for creating symbolic links. Unfortunately, I was not able to get New-Symlink to work but see below for workaround.

Hard links

Hard links can be created with New-Hardlink and work as expected.
