I've never internalized this, so I usually stick to using absolute paths... Not a solution for all problems, but it works for me most of the time.

- stouset 2y agoAbsolute paths will break if, for example, the target and source are in the same directory but you move the directory. Sometimes you semantically want absolute paths (I want to symlink a thing to /bin/foo), sometimes you want relative paths (I want to symlink a thing to something in a nested directory).
