Home variable in project config

#1

Hello sublimers,
is it possible to use some home variable (~, $HOME) in sublime project config file? I found something in Variable for $Home Directory? but have no idea how to use it in project settings. Thanks.

When you open the console and type

>>> window.extract_variables()

You will find all of the possible variables that you can use. Unfortunately, HOME or ~ is not one of them.

Note that for the "folders" key, you can use relative paths:

{
  "folders":
  [
    {
      "path": "."
    } 
  ],
  "settings":
  {

  }
}

So, if you just put your sublime project file at the root of your project folder, it will pick up the root directory.
