One thing you'll need to do manually is add your ~/.zshrc file. You can't symlink the .zshrc file from your dotfiles because Mackup will already symlink your .zshrc from your home directory. That's why we'll need to create the file manually. Add the contents below to a .zshrc file in your user directory. What it will do is load the .zshrc file from your dotfiles. Make sure that the path to your dotfiles is correct.

# Load Zsh
source ~/.dotfiles/.zshrc
