Summary

This pull request adds support for replacing the absolute home directory path
with ~ in printed file paths, as suggested in issue #1688.

Details

  • Modified print_entry_uncolorized_base, print_entry_colorized, and other output functions to use replace_home_dir.
  • Ensured that this replacement works with --color=always, --color=never, and path separator options.
  • Added an integration test to confirm that paths under $HOME are displayed with ~.
