对于那些在Windows Vista、Windows 7或更高版本上使用Cygwin的人来说，原生git命令可以创建“适当的”符号链接，这些符号链接可以被Windows应用程序(如Android Studio)识别。你只需要设置CYGWIN环境变量来包含winsymlinks:native或winsymlinks:nativestrict，就像这样:

export CYGWIN="$CYGWIN winsymlinks:native"

这样做的缺点(也是一个很重要的缺点)是Cygwin shell必须是“以管理员身份运行”，这样它才能拥有创建这些符号链接所需的操作系统权限。但是，一旦创建了它们，就不需要特殊的权限来使用它们。只要它们没有在存储库中被另一个开发人员更改，git就可以在正常的用户权限下正常运行。

就我个人而言，我只对Windows应用程序(即非cygwin)导航的符号链接使用这种方法，因为这增加了难度。

我建议您不要在存储库中使用符号链接。将实际内容存储在存储库中，然后在存储库外放置指向内容的符号链接。

因此，假设您正在使用一个存储库来比较在类unix系统上托管站点与在Windows上托管站点。将内容存储在您的存储库中，例如/httpRepoContent和c:\httpRepoContent，这是通过Git、SVN等同步的文件夹。

然后，替换你的web服务器的内容文件夹(/var/www和c:\程序文件\web server\www{名称并不重要，如果你必须编辑})，用一个符号链接到你的存储库中的内容。web服务器将看到内容实际上是在“正确”的位置，但你可以使用你的源代码控制。

但是，如果您需要在存储库中使用符号链接，您将需要研究一些类似于前/后提交脚本的东西。我知道您可以使用它们来做一些事情，例如通过格式化程序解析代码文件，因此应该可以在平台之间转换符号链接。

如果有人知道一个好地方可以学习如何为常见的源代码控制、SVN、Git和MG执行这些脚本，那么请添加评论。

请注意更新

对于大多数受困于符号链接和git以及与*nix系统共享repo的Windows开发人员来说，这个问题已经解决了——只要您更新一下对mklink的Windows理解并打开开发者模式。

在深入讨论下面的git技巧之前，先看看这个更现代的答案。

老系统:

我曾经问过这个完全相同的问题(不是在这里，只是在一般情况下)，最后得出了一个与OP的命题非常相似的解决方案。 我将发布我最终使用的解决方案。

但首先我将直接回答OP的3个问题:

问:“如果有的话，你认为这种方法有什么缺点?” 答:提议的解决方案确实有一些缺点，主要是增加了存储库污染的可能性，或者在它们处于“Windows符号链接”状态时意外添加重复文件。(关于这一点，请参阅下面的“限制”。)

问:“这个后检出脚本是可行的吗?例如，我可以递归找到虚拟的“符号链接”文件git创建? 答:是的，后检出脚本是可实现的!也许不能作为字面上的后git签出步骤，但是下面的解决方案已经很好地满足了我的需求，不需要字面上的后签出脚本。

问:“有人写过这样的剧本吗?” 答:是的!

解决方案:

我们的开发人员和OP的情况差不多:混合了Windows和类unix的主机、带有许多git符号链接的存储库和子模块，并且在MsysGit的发布版本中(目前)还没有本地支持在Windows主机上智能处理这些符号链接。

感谢Josh Lee指出git使用特殊文件模式120000提交符号链接。有了这些信息，就可以添加一些git别名，以便在Windows主机上创建和操作git符号链接。

Usage: git rm-symlinks [symlink] [symlink] [...] This alias can remove git symlinks one-by-one or all-at-once in one fell swoop. Symlinks will be replaced with NTFS hardlinks (in the case of files) or NTFS junctions (in the case of directories). The benefit of using hardlinks+junctions over "true" NTFS symlinks is that elevated UAC permissions are not required in order for them to be created. To remove symlinks from submodules, just use git's built-in support for iterating over them: git submodule foreach --recursive git rm-symlinks But, for every drastic action like this, a reversal is nice to have...

And for submodules: git submodule foreach --recursive git checkout-symlinks Limitations: Directories/files/symlinks with spaces in their paths should work. But tabs or newlines? YMMV… (By this I mean: don’t do that, because it will not work.) If yourself or others forget to git checkout-symlinks before doing something with potentially wide-sweeping consequences like git add -A, the local repository could end up in a polluted state. Using our "example repo" from before: echo "I am nuthafile" > dir/foo/bar/nuthafile echo "Updating file" >> file git add -A git status # On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # new file: dir/foo/bar/nuthafile # modified: file # deleted: lnk_bar # POLLUTION # new file: lnk_bar/baz # POLLUTION # new file: lnk_bar/lnk_file # POLLUTION # new file: lnk_bar/nuthafile # POLLUTION # Whoops... For this reason, it's nice to include these aliases as steps to perform for Windows users before-and-after building a project, rather than after checkout or before pushing. But each situation is different. These aliases have been useful enough for me that a true post-checkout solution hasn't been necessary.

POSIX compliance (well, except for those mklink calls, of course) — no more Bashisms! Directories and files with spaces in them are supported. Zero and non-zero exit status codes (for communicating success/failure of the requested command, respectively) are now properly preserved/returned. The add-symlink alias now works more like ln(1) and can be used from any directory in the repository, not just the repository’s root directory. The rm-symlink alias (singular) has been superseded by the rm-symlinks alias (plural), which now accepts multiple arguments (or no arguments at all, which finds all of the symlinks throughout the repository, as before) for selectively transforming git symlinks into NTFS hardlinks+junctions. The checkout-symlinks alias has also been updated to accept multiple arguments (or none at all, == everything) for selective reversal of the aforementioned transformations.

Final Note: While I did test loading and running these aliases using Bash 3.2 (and even 3.1) for those who may still be stuck on such ancient versions for any number of reasons, be aware that versions as old as these are notorious for their parser bugs. If you experience issues while trying to install any of these aliases, the first thing you should look into is upgrading your shell (for Bash, check the version with CTRL+X, CTRL+V). Alternatively, if you’re trying to install them by pasting them into your terminal emulator, you may have more luck pasting them into a file and sourcing it instead, e.g. as

. ./git-win-symlinks.sh

下面是一个批处理脚本，用于转换存储库中的符号链接，仅用于文件，基于Josh Lee的回答。https://gist.github.com/Quazistax/8daf09080bf54b4c7641上有一个带有管理员权限检查功能的脚本。

@echo off
pushd "%~dp0"
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

for /f "tokens=3,*" %%e in ('git ls-files -s ^| findstr /R /C:"^120000"') do (
     call :processFirstLine %%f
)
REM pause
goto :eof

:processFirstLine
@echo.
@echo FILE:    %1

dir "%~f1" | find "<SYMLINK>" >NUL && (
  @echo FILE already is a symlink
  goto :eof
)

for /f "usebackq tokens=*" %%l in ("%~f1") do (
  @echo LINK TO: %%l

  del "%~f1"
  if not !ERRORLEVEL! == 0 (
    @echo FAILED: del
    goto :eof
  )

  setlocal
  call :expandRelative linkto "%1" "%%l"
  mklink "%~f1" "!linkto!"
  endlocal
  if not !ERRORLEVEL! == 0 (
    @echo FAILED: mklink
    @echo reverting deletion...
    git checkout -- "%~f1"
    goto :eof
  )

  git update-index --assume-unchanged "%1"
  if not !ERRORLEVEL! == 0 (
    @echo FAILED: git update-index --assume-unchanged
    goto :eof
  )
  @echo SUCCESS
  goto :eof
)
goto :eof

:: param1 = result variable
:: param2 = reference path from which relative will be resolved
:: param3 = relative path
:expandRelative
  pushd .
  cd "%~dp2"
  set %1=%~f3
  popd
goto :eof

我们使用的一个简单的技巧是调用git add——连续两次。

例如，我们的Windows 7提交脚本调用:

git add --all
git add --all

第一个add将链接视为文本，并添加用于删除的文件夹。

第二个add正确地遍历链接，并通过恢复文件来撤销删除操作。

它没有其他一些提议的解决方案那么优雅，但它是对添加了符号链接的一些遗留环境的简单修复。
