Had to modify .zgen-setup to point to proper files

[saltmade]

Had to modify these lines:

if [ ! -f ~/zgen/zgen.zsh ]; then
  pushd ~
  git clone git@github.com:tarjoilija/zgen.git
  popd
fi
source ~/zgen/zgen.zsh

To this

if [ ! -f ~/zgen.zsh ]; then
  pushd ~
  git clone git@github.com:tarjoilija/zgen.git
  popd
fi
source ~/zgen.zsh

To get it to work. Stow didn't appear to create a symlink for the zsh folder itself. Is that standard behavior?

Not creating a symlink to the zsh folder is standard stow behavior. When you're in the quickstart checkout directory, stow zsh should create symlinks from ~ to all the files within the zsh directory.

I'll set up a fresh account on a machine tonight to test the changes you made, I don't run the initial setup very often.

Thanks

Faced same problem. Had to change .zgen_setup manually.
Thanks.

Hi, according to zgen's documentation, many new users (like me) will run

git clone https://github.com/tarjoilija/zgen.git "${HOME}/.zgen"

so the path to be checked should be $ZGEN_PARENT_DIR/.zgen/zgen.zsh.
This also allows a cleaner home (at first).
