How to install using `--user` option? about pygitup HOT 4 CLOSED

I dont' have any clue as to why this happens either 🙁 Does running git-up from your shell work if the git-up is located in /home/.../.local/bin?

I just stumbled onto the magic, I believe.

I was confused how Pip could be so wrong about my PATH and being Python I wasn't afraid to find the code and scrutinize it. I see no use of os.path.expanduser() in message_about_scripts_not_on_PATH() of wheel.py. I checked my PATH and sure enough I had this particular entry as ~/.local/bin. I changed this to /home/jflorian/.local/bin and reinstalled PyGitUp. This time the warning was gone with Pip and git up is now happy too.

IMHO both Git and Pip are buggy in that they don't expand ~ in PATH. Maybe that's not conventional as I noticed all the normal default PATH entries that I didn't put there myself were already expanded ... like whomever did the OS defaults knew better.

Oh and just to eliminate any confusion here... I'm taking about two different systems one where I'm d13677 and the other I'm jflorian but otherwise all oddities and fixes are alike on both systems.

Interesting! I'm glad you were able to find the cause for this issue 🙃 I've had issues with this too on some occasions, but with other tools. Some programs work fine with ~ in PATH, some don't.
