• /etc/profile does not work on zsh on MacOS

  This implys that /etc/profile is always read by zsh at login - I haven't got any experience with the Arch Linux project; the wiki may be correct for that distribution, but it is not generally correct. The information is incorrect compared to the zsh manual pages, and doesn't seem to apply to zsh on OS X (paths in $PATH set in /etc/profile do not make it to my zsh sessions). -- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10574684/where-to-place-path-variable-assertions-in-zsh
