18 — Path expansion (~, *, **)
Status: open Related: #13 shell globbing
Path expansion for ~ is not available. Commands like:
!cat ~/Notes/jobs_board.md
fail with:
cat: ~/Notes/jobs_board.md: No such file or directory
The ~ and other expansions are passed literally to the command rather than being expanded to $HOME.
Requirements
~at the start of a word should expand to$HOME- Should work in both backtick and
!prefix contexts
To invesitigate/decide
- How should it interact with quoting (quoted
~should not expand), should single/double quotes be used? both? or something else?
