## Windows
4+
5+
Currently, the project uses symbolic links which requires special handling when working on Windows.
6+
Firstly you need to make sure that you have [mklink](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mklink)
7+
permissions as a user, the easiest way to do this is if you happen to be running Windows 10/Windows 11
8+
is to enable [Developer Mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging?source=recommendations).
9+
After this is done then you can enable `symlinks` globally by doing
10+
11+
```shell
12+
git config --global core.symlinks true
13+
```
14+
15+
Alternately if you don't want to enable `symlinks` globally you can just selectively enable it when checking
16+
out this repository, i.e.
17+
18+
```shell
19+
git clone -c core.symlinks=true [email protected]:sbt/sbt-github-actions.git
20+
```
