Different and confusing output.
A user might mistake the dir they are current in for a dir downloads always go to.
It should not print the value of current dir, but say "current directory" or maybe ..

│      path      [PATH]  Path to save video [default: <current directory>]

│      path      [PATH]  Path to save video [default: .]

default twice - confusing:

│      path      [PATH]  Path to save video [default: <current directory>] [default: /tmp]

│      path      [PATH]  Path to save video [default: <current directory>] [default: /]

Ah, I understand now. The presence of [default: /tmp] or [default: /] is likely a feature of the Typer library, which I use in the pyutube CLI. It seems to be part of the library's functionality. I'll temporarily remove the [default: <current directory>] indicator and investigate if there's a way to adjust or modify the defaults for [default: /tmp] or [default: /].

Thank you.

Hey there,

I just wanted to express my gratitude for your understanding and patience. I've taken the time to address the issue that was causing some confusion about the default path display in the pyutube CLI.

Enhanced Output Representation in 1.1.3 version:

url       TEXT    YouTube URL [required]
path      [PATH]  Path to save video [default: current directory>]

I truly appreciate your feedback, Cheers!
