How can interpret ~ symbol in this command line? [duplicate]
While I am installing Jenkins and Ansible, I see this command from tutorial.
sudo cp ~/.kube/config ~jenkins/.kube/
sudo chown -R jenkins: ~jenkins/.kube/
sudo cp ~/.kube/config ~jenkins/.kube/
sudo chown -R jenkins: ~jenkins/.kube/
~/.kube/config means the home diectory/.kube/config file.
But as for ~jenkins, I don't know what does it mean.
Can you kindly let me know?
~ means home directory of the current user (the one calling the command).
~username means home directory of the user username.
