In Terminal:
This should find all aliases (Apple aliases)
mdfind "kMDItemKind == 'Alias'" -onlyin /path/of/your/repo
For finding all symlinks (symbolic links) you can use:
ls -lR /path/of/your/repo | grep ^l
To only show symlinks in current directory:
ls -la | grep ^l
If you want to view the full path of symlinks:
find /path/of/your/repo -type l
