pnpm install creates ~ directory inside project folder, instead of going to ~

[brachkow]

pnpm version: 8.5.1

Code to reproduce the issue: pnpm install

Expected behavior:

PNPM downloads dependencies to store somewhere at ~ and reuses them in project.

Actual behavior:

PNPM creates a hierarchy of ~ inside project folder, and downloads all packages into it (without reusing). Problem was previously described and solved here but fix is not working for me — https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/5606

Additional information:

I installed pnpm via brew. My shell is fish.
