Tilde expansion not supported

[anothermh]

Tilde expansion is not supported. For example, consider the following command:

git-sim --media-dir=~/temp log

The expectation is that media-dir will map to $HOME/temp, for example /Users/foo/temp. Instead it maps to the current directory and creates a sub-directory with the literal name ~, e.g. ./~/temp:

└── ~
    └── temp
        └── git-sim_media
            ├── images
            ├── texts
            └── videos
                └── 1080p60
                    └── partial_movie_files
                        └── GitSim

This was tested on macOS using both ZSH and fish for the shell, using python 3.11.1.

The problem appears to be here:

git-sim/git_sim/__main__.py

Line 79 in c2effc2

config.media_dir = os.path.join(args.media_dir, "git-sim_media")

Using os.path.expanduser will allow tilde expansion.

Lol whoops, good catch. Thanks for finding the exact location in the codebase and suggesting a solution! Any chance you want to submit a pull request for it? :D
