tmux won't read zsh startup files when I have `antigen use prezto`

zsh looks for the startup files in $ZDOTDIR if set, otherwise your home directory. I think something in your config is setting that variable to ~/.antigen/repos. Let me know if it is the case. Sorry, I have limited knowledge in prezto, but I'll try to help :)

You are correct-- ZDOTDIR does get set to ~/.antigen/repos. What's strange is that this happens only when opening tmux, not when opening a new shell without tmux. The setting of ZDOTDIR is happening when I call antigen use prezto. Here is the culprit code from antigen.zsh:

-antigen-use-prezto () {
    antigen-bundle sorin-ionescu/prezto
    export ZDOTDIR=$ADOTDIR/repos/
}

Then perhaps something in your tmux config somewhere is doing it. Sorry, bu
I don't use tmux nowadays, so I'm a bit out of touch.

The problem is, you are opening zsh in zsh.

When you normally open zsh, ZDOTDIR is not set, but for the nested zsh antigen set it.

I just made an:
ln -s ~/.zshrc ~/.antigen/repos/.zshrc
