Research direction
The issue requests using the $HOME environment variable to handle different usernames across computers. First, inspect the repository's main scripts (e.g., scripts/helpers.sh, scripts/save.sh, scripts/restore.sh) to find where absolute paths with usernames are hardcoded. Then, verify if the project already supports variable expansion or if a configuration file is used. Look at comments or previous PRs for context.
