Local deployment upload fails, works on GH Actions

[dingo-d]

So I've managed to fix my deployment, and it's working really nicely I might add.

But one thing is odd. While the deployment works perfectly for the CI/CD runner on GH Actions it seems to fail on local computer.

I have a file that I'm creating out of a template and in my task I have

upload('wp-config.php.tmpl', '{{deploy_path}}/wp-config.php');

This works on real deployment, but for some reason for my local run I get

[Symfony\Component\Process\Exception\ProcessFailedException]
  The command "rsync -azP  'wp-config.php.tmpl' '~/Desktop/test.deploy.test/wp-config.php'" failed.

  Exit Code: 12(Unknown error)

  Working directory: /Users/denis.zoljom/Sites/infinum/wpcicd

  Error Output:

not sure why rsync tries to do this: push_dir#3 "/Users/denis.zoljom/Sites/infinum/wpcicd/~/Desktop/test.deploy.test", instead of just expanding the ~ that I have set in my localhost() 🤷🏼‍♂️

<?php

use function Deployer\localhost;

localhost()
	->stage('development')
	->set('deploy_path', '~/Desktop/{{staging_host}}')
	->roles('test', 'build');

I'm on version 6.8.0. PHP 7.4

Any ideas why this happens?
