who ate my .zshrc and .zcompdump ? Wanting to put all my .zsh files in one place.

[shirish शिरीष]

Hi all,

I wanted to put all my now and future zsh files in one place. To do
this I did the following -

a. In /etc/zsh/zshenv added/wrote -

$ tail zshenv
# output or assume the shell is attached to a tty.
#
# Global Order: zshenv, zprofile, zshrc, zlogin

if [[ -z "$PATH" || "$PATH" == "/bin:/usr/bin" ]]
then
	export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games"
fi

export ZDOTDIR="/home/shirish/.zsh/"

Just the last line.

Then on my user

/home/shirish $  mv .zcompdump .zsh/
/home/shirish $ mv .zshrc .zsh/

This should have copied .zshrc and .zcompdump files to .zsh BUT

/home/shirish/.zsh $ ls -lh
total 0

So where have the files disappeared too ?

I do get output if I do a cat .zshrc within .zsh . For some reason the
files are not just visible :(

ls hides filenames starting with a dot by default, try ls -a

Hi,

`ls -a` should show you also the dot files. Example:

% cd /tmp
% touch .foo
% mkdir .bar
% mv .foo .bar
% ls -lh ./.bar
total 0

# No .foo there? ... wait!

% ls -a ./.bar
.  ..  .foo

# Ah, there it is!

HTH,
