Howdy,

Similar issue discussed in #408.

This is caused by the switch made a while back where master was renamed main.

And it appears something funky happened to your installation where it has nested share/.

See share/git-process-output.zsh

Additionally, I haven't (IIRC) updated the formula to account for the different Brew prefix on ARM (i.e., Apple silicon). However, this shouldn't matter.

Try this:

brew uninstall --force zinit \
&& brew install --force --HEAD --fetch-HEAD zinit \
&& exec zsh -il

Tangential:

Cool to see a Harvard colleague (worked on DevOps team @ HMS Research Computing for 2.5 years) using Zinit 👍🏻!

brew uninstall --force zinit definitely removes everything.

brew install --force --HEAD --fetch-HEAD zinit results in the nested share/share dirs.
