I recently restored my files to a new computer, but didn't copy over /usr/local. When I signed in, my $SHELL was set to /usr/local/bin/zsh, which didn't exist, and so Terminal.app exited immediately upon opening. I had to use iTerm (with a custom profile that overrode my user's $SHELL) in order to log in and change my shell back to /bin/zsh in order to do anything. Obviously this was a total nightmare. To fix it: * Don't install Zsh via Homebrew at all. OSX ships with Zsh 5.2 now, which a comment from Past Gabe implies was the whole reason to use Homebrew-provided Zsh. * Set my shell to the ever-present /bin/zsh to prevent the above nightmare from recurring.
