Notes#
/home/user#
The complete (or absolute) path to your home
directory will be of the form /home/user,
where user is your username on the system.
$HOME#
The HOME environment variable will automatically be
set to the complete path to your home directory in the
filesystem.
Hence, you can substitute /home/user with $HOME
in your commands or scripts.
