okay bestie, welcome to the Heat cfntools manual — yes, that's the manual name, it's giving "cloud infrastructure but make it cozy" 💖. Sit down, grab a boba, we're doing symlinks.

🌸 NAME 🌸

cfn-create-aws-symlinks — makes symlinks for all the cfn-* scripts chillin' in this directory, and points them at /opt/aws/bin. That's it. That's the whole job. Iconic, honestly. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

cfn-create-aws-symlinks

no args, no drama, just vibes ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, this script creates symlinks for the cfn-* scripts sitting in this directory, and drops them into /opt/aws/bin. That's literally the entire plot. No cap. It's a glow-up for your file paths — the scripts stay where they are, but now /opt/aws/bin knows about them too. 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -t, --target — the target directory where the symlinks get created. defaults to /opt/aws/bin. this is where the magic lands, bestie 🎯
  • -s, --source — the source directory to create symlinks from. defaults to the directory where this script lives. so like, it already knows its own home, cute 🏠
  • -f, --force — if you specify this, it will create symlinks even if there's already a target file there. it's giving "move, I'm here now" 💀 use with intention, okay?
