This library is based on and fully compatible withmitchellh/go-homedir but usesos/user because since go 1.9 there is no longer cgo compilation required.

go get -u github.com/atrox/homedir# or with depdep ensure -add github.com/atrox/homedir

Usage is incredibly simple, just callhomedir.Dir() to get the home directoryfor a user, andhomedir.Expand(path string) to expand the~ in a path to the homedirectory.

package mainimport ("fmt""github.com/atrox/homedir")funcmain() {dir,err:=homedir.Dir()iferr!=nil {panic(err)    }fmt.Printf("'%s' is your users home directory\n",dir)path,err:=homedir.Expand("~/.config")iferr!=nil {panic(err)    }fmt.Printf("'%s' is the expanded path to the .config directory\n",path)}
