If my memory is not playing me up this could be done with old versions of Ubuntu but I can't find a way of doing it with 18.04.

          Drag the folder while holding the Ctrl+Shift button



          You will see a "link" under the dragging hand badge while the folder is dragged as shown in the picture below.



          enter image description here



          If you drag the folder you want to link to, to a different folder, then the link will have the same name as the linked folder. The linked folder will have a black link arrow to show that it is a link.



          If you create a link of a folder within the same parent folder the link will be called Link to <Name of Folder>.



          enter image description here



          Alternately Alt Drag



          If you press Alt and drag-and-drop a little menu with copy, move, link, and cancel appears:



          enter image description here

                    0 I'm wondering if I can run a Node.js script in my Jekyll page from GitHub Pages or Amazon S3? I think it can't run on GitHub Pages since it doesn't support server side code. Not too sure. The code is below: var Airtable = require('airtable'); var base = new Airtable(apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY').base('appAnZVyYqusNPV5Q'); base('Invitee list').select( // Selecting the first 3 records in Complete list: maxRecords: 3, view: "Complete list" ).eachPage(function page(records, fetchNextPage) // This function (`page`) will get called for each page of records. records.forEach(function(record) console.log('Retrieved', record.get('Email')); ); // To fetch the next page of records, call `fetchNextPage`. // If there are more records, `page` will get called again. // If there are no more records, `done` will get called. fetchNextPage(); , function done(err) if (err) console.error(err); return; ); node.js
