For use with Local by Flywheel (Pressmatic) Volumes Addon to create symlinks for better IDE integration

local-symlink.sh

#! /bin/bash

# Usage:
#
# local-symlink.sh sitename -- add symlinks
#
# The value for sitename must match the folder you have for the site.
#
# Requires Local by Flywheel Volumes Add-on
# 	https://github.com/getflywheel/local-addon-volumes
#
# You MUST add each item in your plugins, mu_plugins, and themes in as a local addon path.
# Yes it sucks
# 
# Thanks Ipstenu!

# case patterns are sitename(s)

You will need to modify this script to use your file paths and add your repo slugs.

After the plugins or themes are added via the Volumes Addon, simply run this modified script and symlinks with replace the created synced folders that LbF creates.

The delete parameter will remove anything that might be in the file paths designated in the script.

Modifications inspired by @Ipstenu https://gist.github.com/Ipstenu/f378eaf3779546d385ca7836bc87abc7

Updated and simplified. Now doesn't delete but checks to see if a symlink already exists and creates a symlink where one doesn't. If forcibly over-writes any other file that exists in that location, like a shared folder.
