=========

Copy symlink because fs.copyFile can't.

When you use fs.copyFile it gets realpath and then copies content of a source file from realpath.

copy-symlink also gets realpath but then creates symbolic link on a new location.

Install

``
npm i copy-symlink
`

API

$3

It is a promise so you can use it this way:

`js
const copySymlink = require('copy-symlink');
const src = './symlink';
const dst = './symlink-copy';

copySymlink()
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error);
`

Or using async-await

`js
const copySymlink = require('copy-symlink');

async () => {
await copySymlink();
}();
``
