Hello Mattia,

I hope this message finds you well.
At the end of your article about sensible-bash,
you write:

# Don't use ~ to define your home here, it won't work.
export dotfiles="$HOME/dotfiles"
export repos="$HOME/repos"
export documents="$HOME/Documents"
export dropbox="$HOME/Dropbox"

If the tilde’s caged in quotes, my friend,
No home can it define,
But free it from those bindings
And Watch your code align!

export dotfiles=~/dotfiles
export repos=~/repos"
export documents=~/Documents"
export dropbox=~/Dropbox"

So let it roam, let it be free,
No prison of quotation mark.
The path is clear, it’s easy, see?
Now bash won’t miss the spark!

So Mattia, oh Mattia,
Take heed, don’t cling so tight.
Sometimes freedom’s what you need,
To make the code feel right.

Best,
