Yesterday, I could not get my ZSH shell to work at all. As I kept trying things, I was getting all these weird errors. I started posting about this on Mastodon too.

Mastodon Thread where I kept asking myself - no responses!

Finally, I realized the issue. And that was the Starship cross-shell prompt. Turns out, it was making everything really really slow.

I finally got it fixed by doing the following:

• Delete everything from ~/.zsh_sessions/ and ~/.zsh_history.
• Do not use source ~/.zshrc and definitely don't use it in your zshrc file! Instead of source use exec zsh
