Fom the man page, do man ln at command line:

NAME
       ln - make links between files

SYNOPSIS
       ln [options] source [dest]
       ln [options] source... directory
       Options:
       [-bdfinsvF] [-S backup-suffix] [-V {numbered,existing,sim<AD>
       ple}]       [--version-control={numbered,existing,simple}]
       [--backup]    [--directory]    [--force]   [--interactive]
       [--no-dereference]   [--symbolic]   [--verbose]    [--suf<AD>
       fix=backup-suffix] [--help] [--version]

Also before doing this, I think you should

1/ create the new dir /home/local
2/ copy ALL files to the new dir (all files meaning ALL .. including
hidden ones..)
3/ backup all files to another place or even better backup everything
4/ create the symbolic link

Maybe some guru will correct this but this is how I did proceed myself
(but I am more of a newbie than a guru so use at your own risk)
