How do you share 1 folder of api among many projects? on win10

hi,
in win10,
i found i have to put the local repo on NTFS, otherwise github desktop will complain about user owner, i guess cursor will do same.

further, say i got 10+ projects in 10 difference folder (this is my practise, so in each @codebase you are not reading your ANOTHER project’s code).
ofcoz i dont wanna copy the API folder 10x times.

my current practise is, 1 copy of API folder in NTFS, then use softlink to make a SOFTLINK shortcut within each project’s folder. cursor could see this.

in this way, 10+ project could simply share 1 copy of API documents.

what ■■■■■ is, i was forced to stick to NTFS, i tried put them on virtual file system like google drive stream, samba etc.

the softlink need both source and destination to be NTFS to function.

how you guys do so?
thanks
