would support for ~ in paths in tools.deps (or parts of it? e.g. just the user file) be a welcome feature? I'd be happy to work on it

My first reaction is no

But feel free to file a jira and I’ll think about it

roger thanks

can git deps specify a subdirectory of the repo?

I'm making a library called user.clj and all it does is contain a user.clj file that loads other user files

e.g., ~/.clojure/user.clj, and it could probably search the classpath for user-<n>.clj

and you could disable it with env variables

Git deps can point at a subdirectory. I can’t recall the key. Maybe :deps/root or some such
