oh my zsh Configuration File Not Loading

· 1 min read

zsh is an excellent shell, but I encountered an issue where I had to manually execute source ~/.zshrc every time. When I opened a new terminal tab or restarted my machine, I had to run the source command again, otherwise it would report command not found errors. I deduced that the oh my zsh configuration file was not loading automatically.

If this had to be done every time, it would be unacceptable. So there must be a solution - please read on.

Solution

  • Terminal –> Preferences –> General –> Shells open with
  • Set Shells open with to Command (complete path) /bin/zsh
  • Set New windows open with to Same Profile
  • Set New tabs open with to Same Profile
