Linux: Contents of "global" folder synced to other folders automatically

Question

I have a directory that has 3 sub directories.

"global_plugins", "foo", and "bar"

foo and bar both have a subfolder called "plugins".

I want the content of "global_plugins" to appear in plugins, on top of what is already in plugins, for each folder.

These are all on one local machine, and the files need to be R/W in all cases.

Adjust this solution. – Kamil Maciorowski Jun 28 '18 at 09:35 — Kamil Maciorowski, Jun 28 '18 at 09:35

I may be wrong but I think that this is not possible due nature of folders. But you can try couple of alternatives.

You can write custom script that will create symlinks in plugins when you create file in global_plugins
You can make symlink to global_plugins in both plugins directories
You can make symlinks by hand
