installation instructions for credentials are puzzling. Are they wrong?

[ozdigennaro]

The following paragraph does not make sense to me, especially the command "cp -a credentials local-credentials". Shouldn't it be "cp -a example-credentials local-credentials; ln -s local-credentials credentials" ???

Credentials Directory

All the keys and settings specific to your organization are held in a directory named credentials/, versioned independently of the homebase.

To set up your credentials directory:

cd $IRONFAN_HOMEBASE/knife 
cp -a credentials local-credentials

You will likely want to store the credentials in another remote repository. We recommend erring on the side of caution in its hosting. Setting that up is outside the scope of this guide, but there good external resources available to get you started.
