• program tries to find .zshrc and .zsh_history
  • Ref: zsh.sourceforge.io/Guide/zshguide - All the startup files

[...] type 'print $ZDOTDIR' and if you get something other than a blank line, or an error message telling you the parameter isn't set, it's telling you a directory other than '~' where your startup files live [...]

 print $ZDOTDIR
# /Users/paria/.dotfiles/zsh

ls /Users/paria/.dotfiles/zsh
# .p10k.zsh       .p10k.zsh.zwc   .zsh_history    .zshenv         .zshrc

ls -la /Users/paria | grep zsh
# lrwxr-xr-x    1 paria  staff     29 May  7 07:01 .zshenv -> /Users/paria/.dotfiles/zshenv

cat /Users/paria/.zshenv
# ZDOTDIR=~/.dotfiles/zsh
# source -- "$ZDOTDIR"/.zshenv

expected behavior

• set an additional flag and tell the program manually where my startup files are, or it does it automatically

---

• adjusting for ZDOTDIR
