Yes, I'd rather have contributions made with the identity @etu.univ-lyon1.fr, and use the same identity for Signed-off-by: and From:. >> --path:: >> - 'git-config' will expand leading '{tilde}' to the value of >> + 'git config' will expand leading '{tilde}' to the value of >> '$HOME', and '{tilde}user' to the home directory for the Didn't notice yesterday, but you still have forward quotes here and backquotes right below.

If I read correctly, the potential issue with ~ is that it's used for subscript text (i.e. foo~bar~ in asciidoc is LaTeX's $foo_{bar}$). But ~ within a literal string should be safe, and at least we use it in many places in our doc. Cheers, -- Matthieu Moy https://matthieu-moy.fr/
