=== Symbolic Links to ease testing and commiting in Windows

With https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html[symbolic links] you can use one file in one directory in multiple other directories, without copying the whole file the the other directories. So you are actually just linked to the original file and therefore don't have to worry about differing versions of the file in your directory. This is very helpful for testing our devon-ide, because e.g. the commandlets folder for testing is not the same as the commandlets folder for git-commits.
With https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html[symbolic links] you can use one file that is located inside one directory in multiple other directories, without copying the whole file the the other directories. The file is still only saved at the initial location, but can be accessed through the created links in a much more comfortable way.

Follow https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html[these] installation and usage instructions first.
Later on you can make symbolic links of files from your "git folder" and add them into the folder in which the testing is supposed to take place.
E.g. make a symbolic link of ${DEVON_IDE_HOME}/workspaces/ide/scripts/src/main/resources/scripts/command/docker and insert it into the folder ${DEVON_IDE_HOME}/scripts/command.
E.g. make a symbolic link of "${DEVON_IDE_HOME}/workspaces/ide/scripts/src/main/resources/scripts/command/docker" and insert it into the folder "${DEVON_IDE_HOME}/scripts/command".
Now changes you make in the first mentioned file will directly be available in your testing environment.
