From my experience, this doesn't update the files in the xtrn
I've had to manually copy those.
That's true. And BullsHit! is located in the xtrn/bullshit directory.
You could
symlink that/those directories too.

Ok, what is symlink? I run sbbs on Windows 10 32bit.

I did without params and it gave me info on what it wants. If it is on the wiki I will read more on it because I am not sure how to use it.

The Synchronet wiki does not explain how to use Windows' mklink. But it would be something like this:
mklink /d \sbbs\xtrn\bullshit \sbbs\repo\xtrn\bullshit
This, assuming \sbbs\xtrn\bullshit doesn't already exist, would create a "fake"
directory \sbbs\xtrn\bullshit which is actually just a link to \sbbs\repo\xtrn\bullshit. See how many times I just said bullshit in a technical context? EC is smarter than he looks.

EC is always smart. However, what if I do already have the \sbbs\xtrn\bullshit folder?
And the purpose of this link is what?
Maybe a question that has an obvious answer, but enlighten me anyways?Also
I can also do this mklink for other \sbbs\xtrn\* folders?

I had no idea Windows had symlinks. Thanks for sharing.

I have never heard of this program before. When did they add it?
Wher have I been?

I don't use symlinks much in Windows. You haven't been missing much.
say how synchronet defaults to use ../xtrn etc instead of absolute paths is brilliant. It is much easier to change things later on if necessary. The majority of previous BBS software I have used, especially DOS based, always used absolute paths.

You could leave or move it out of the way. Your choice.
And the purpose of this link is what?
To allow easy update of the directory's contents using git.

So if I understand this I can use mklink, leave the current \xtrn\bullshit folder and it update the the ..\xtrn\bullshit actual folder?
