This is a small program for my dotfiles, its only purpose is to shorten a path to make it more readable. I initially made a python script for that purpose but I thought starting up the python interpreter every time just for that is a bit overkill.
How to use it
$ shorten [path/to/shorten] [path/parent]For example
$ shorten ~/repos/somerepo/somedir ~/repos/
somerepo/somedirThis can be used in shell scripts, I use it for my customized oh-my-zh theme.
SOME=$(shorten $(pwd) ~/repos/)
