A simple script for symlinking a script to /usr/local/bin
It's intended for scripts that are in git repos in your dev directory. Symbolic linking them to /usr/local/bin (or some other location in your $PATH) allows you to always have the most up to date version available to run and encourages you to share the tools you write.
