xpm link

Synopsis

xpm link [<options> ...]

Invoked with arguments referring to writeable dependencies:

xpm link [<options> ...] [<packs>...]

Aliases:

Description

By default, dependencies are installed in read-only folders, to avoid inadvertently damaging their contents.

This command provides a unified solution for continuing development of source xPacks while being used as dependencies in an application.

It does this by replacing the links to the read-only folders in the global xPacks store by links to writeable folders.

This is done in two steps:

create a special link (called .link) from the global xPacks store to the writeable folder; this is done by invoking xpm link in the writeable folder
replace the link in the application with a link to the above .link; this is done by invoking xpm link <package> in the application folder.

Example:

TBD
