Print the working directory in a compact form (originally created for tmux status bar customization)
#!/bin/sh
# Print a compact version of the current working directory.
# The home directory is replaced with ~, and long paths are truncated to the final part with < as a marker.
# Examples:
# /home/example/Documents becomes ~/Documents
# /example/of/a/really/really/long/path becomes <ly/really/long/path
# The maximum length can be set using the LIMIT variable.
