How to create symbolic link to folder

Suppose u have folder called testing_files (let's path /home/ravi/shared_folder/public/testing_files)

and

you want to make a symbolick under your project folder names as "assets" (let's path  /home/ravi/project_folder/public/assets)

           (source folder/actual folder)                                (symbolic link)
 ln -s /home/ravi/shared_folder/public/testing_files/   /home/ravi/project_folder/public/assets

be careful while giving symbolic link name assets folder should no be present or it will create a new one inside.
