+### 7. Follow symlinks when looking for duplicates
+
+Often times symbolic links are added to `PATH` to point to a particular version
+of a package. You can discover more duplicate directories with `--follow-symlinks` flag.
+
+```console
+$ justpath --duplicates --follow-symlinks --includes dotnet
+ 6 /home/codespace/.dotnet (resolves to /usr/local/dotnet/7.0.306, duplicates: 2)
+32 /usr/local/dotnet/current (resolves to /usr/local/dotnet/7.0.306, duplicates: 2)
