Added clarification to be in your home directory, otherwise the script may fail.

You don't have to be in your home dir for it to work

It failed when I was in a root folder even though I had proper permissions (775) on that folder… I'll try again at some point and debug what the problem was but I'm 90% sure it was permissions.

I personally wouldn't do anything like this at the root or outside of the context of ~. You don't need to be at the root of ~ but you should always be in that path, like say ~/Desktop

Right, I happened to be in a folder that was root based at the time (my /Library/Webserver/Documents folder) so I thought it might be helpful to specify that ~/ just in case you have dummies like me using the script, which is kinda the point of it right?
