This PR uses the PWD environment variable if it is available instead of calling
env::current_dir()
.Motivation: I was short on storage space in my main
/home/user
filesystem, so I moved all my/home/user/workspaces
to another disk at/home/newdisk/user/workspaces
, then created a symbolic link from/home/user/workspaces
to/home/newdisk/user/workspaces
.To my dismay, when I searched my command history with the
directory
filter mode, nothing showed up.For reference:
std::env::current_dir
