~/.gitignore_global not works? → STOP using tilde(~)

TL;DR

Good 🎉

git config --global core.excludesFile "${HOME}/.gitignore_global"

OR

# .gitconfig
[core]
  excludesfile = /Users/hiroga/.gitignore_global_global

Bad 👎

git config --global core.excludesFile "~/.gitignore_global"

OR

# .gitconfig
[core]
  excludesfile = ~/.gitignore_global
  # OR
  excludesfile = ${HOME}/.gitignore_global

Environment
