Gives the real relative path from a starting folder. (and not just adding .... between the start and the target)

>>> start = os.path.join(".", "..", "..")
>>> real_rel_path(path, start)
'sertit-utils\sertit'

Parameters

path (Union[str, CloudPath, Path]) – Path to make relative
start (Union[str, CloudPath, Path]) – Start, the path being relative from this folder.

Returns

Relative path
