  1. Use the createlink function to create a symbolic link.
index.ts
const target = '/path/to/target';
const source = '/path/to/source';

createLink(target, source, (err) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error('Error:', err);
  } else {
    console.log('Symbolic link created successfully!');
  }
});

The createLink function takes three arguments: the target path, the source path, and a callback function to handle any errors. The err parameter in the callback function contains the error object if the operation failed, or null if it succeeded.

Note that you'll need to have the appropriate permissions to create a symbolic link. Additionally, the createLink function will only work on systems that support symbolic links.
