I have a repository in gitlab that contains some symbolic links. When I clone this repo in my linux machine, I get the links correctly
ls ./ -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 1133 543 13 Mar 18 ALink -> build/AFile
However when I git clone this repo in my windows machine and I do this in the git bash
ls ./ -l
-rw------- 1 11250 10513 14 Jul 6 ALink
and this time this Alink is a text file with only one line: build/AFile
What can I do to clone the repo with the symlinks correctly cloned too?
Is there some kind of git config setting perhaps?
Note: notice that I am not asking how to correct the files once they have become text files back into links but how to correctly clone the repo without losing the links
