`gulp-symdest` is a Gulp plugin that extends `gulp.dest` to properly handle symbolic links by creating symlinks instead of copying file contents when a vinyl file has a `symlink` field. It was designed for Gulp workflows that need to preserve symlinks during file operations, though it's now deprecated since vinyl-fs natively supports symlinks. This tool would have been useful for developers working with projects that rely heavily on symbolic links and use Gulp for build automation.
