File Path Handling

Whenever handling file paths, wrap them in quotes to safely handle spaces and special characters.

Examples (using a generic placeholder path)

• Quote when used in shell commands:

  cd "/Users/username/Development/Project Name/"
  ls "/Users/username/Development/Project Name/src"
  

• Quote inside scripts and configuration:

  PROJECT_DIR="/Users/username/Development/Project Name"
  cp "$PROJECT_DIR/file.txt" "$PROJECT_DIR/backup/"
  

• Quote in documentation, examples, and prompts.

Rule

• Never use unquoted paths in shell commands or configuration files.
• Use the generic placeholder /Users/username/Development/Project Name/ (or similar) in documentation — never the current user's actual home path.
