Adding a new entry to the PATH variable in ZSH
Here, add this line to .zshrc: EDIT: This does work, but ony’s answer below is better, as it takes advantage of the structured interface ZSH provides for variables like $PATH.

gdb debugging in Terminal OS X (10.8.5) with zsh

Is there anything in Zsh like .bash_profile?
