RFC: How To Use Symbolic Links for Development Outside of a DNN Instance #101

Description

@david-poindexter

What documentation page needs changing?

New how-to page.

Proposed documentation change

Add new page to cover how to use Microsoft's built-in Win10 symbolic link feature to develop outside of a DNN instance. This idea was proposed by @ahoefling, with additional support for PowerShell syntax by @bdukes. While this seems like a good solution for those wanting to develop outside a DNN instance, this needs more discussion. There are a few challenges with this as it relates to containers and how the Gulp tasks are currently working. Please chime in and let's figure out the best approach for this. It may lead to improvements in the workflow as well.
