It could be that you find a symbolic link in your GitHub repository (like [this](./images/symbolic_link_GitHub.png)). Or you might get the message `Skipping symbolic link: [...]”`.

**Brief explanation of what symbolic links (also known as symlinks) are:** A symbolic link is a link that leads to a file or folder without moving the original file.
