function shorten_path
# shorten_path is a script to compress a path without sacrificing to much readibility
# It shortens each segment in a path to one character except the last
# It also replaces /home/user with ~ to save space
# e.g.:
# /path/to/somewhere → /p/t/somewhere
# some/relative/path → s/r/path
# singel_segment_path → singel_segment_path
# /path/with//empty/space → /p/w//e/space
# /home/user/test/123 → ~/t/123
# handle single segment paths (don't contain a slash)

echo $argv[1]
return
end
# replace /home/<username> with ~

# split
set -l segments (string split '/' (string trim -r -c '/' "$argv[1]"))
# handle relative paths

echo -n (string split '' $segments[1])[1]

# print shortened segments
for seg in $segments[2..-2]
