Fixed tilde expansion in DB_PATH | Generated by AI

Home 2026.07

All fixed. Here’s what happened and what was done:

Root cause: ~/.config/ww/.env had DB_PATH=~/projects/jekyll-ai-blog/ww.db (literal tilde). In ww/db.py, get_db_path() returned DB_PATH directly without os.path.expanduser(), so os.makedirs() treated the ~ as a literal directory name — creating fineweb-code-sec-gpt/~/projects/jekyll-ai-blog/ww.db when you ran from zz/.

Fixes applied:

  1. ww/db.py — added os.path.expanduser() to the DB_PATH branch so ~ gets expanded whether it comes from env var or .env file. Committed as 1d283a1.

  2. ~/.config/ww/.env — changed DB_PATH from ~/projects/jekyll-ai-blog/ww.db → ~/.config/ww/ww.db (canonical XDG config location).

  3. zz repo — removed the tracked ~/projects/jekyll-ai-blog/ww.db file from git history via git commit --amend, deleted the literal ~ directory tree, and added *.db to .gitignore to prevent future sqlite files from being accidentally committed.

Now when ww writes its command history db, it goes to ~/.config/ww/ww.db with the tilde properly expanded, so no more ghost directories under your project.
