I just realized I already got my answer [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/is-there-a-way-to-make-julia-aware-of-as-the-home-directory-on-linux/56550/7).

`..` has special meaning within my terminal (zsh), which keeps track of how I got somewhere. Julia, just looks if there is a sub directory `..` in the current directory. Which just points to the parent directory in Linux.

So it was clearly unexpected to me, but it makes sense…
