This PR improves error handling when resolving paths that contain the tilde (~) character for home directory expansion. Previously, the
homeDirectory()
function would log and exit the program if it failed to get the user's home directory. Now it properly returns the error to the caller, allowing for more graceful error handling.Key changes:
homeDirectory()
to return an error instead of callinglog.Fatal()
Execute()
to handle potential errorslog
importThese changes follow the Go best practice of propagating errors up the call stack rather than terminating the program at the point of failure, giving the caller more control over error handling.
