From the [Zsh manual](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Intro/intro_3.html): > '.zshenv' is sourced on all invocations of the shell, unless the -f option is > set. It should contain commands to set the command search path, plus other > important environment variables. `.zshenv' should not contain commands that > produce output or assume the shell is attached to a tty. Why is this important? [Alfred](http://www.alfredapp.com/) workflows run in non-interactive shells. When the `$PATH` is set, or `rbenv` is initialized, in `zshrc` instead of `zshenv`, those workflows will not use the correct Ruby version and might not have access to certain bin files, such as those from `$HOME/.bin/` or Homebrew.

So why is this important? Alfred workflows run in non-interactive shells. When the
$PATHis set orrbenvis initialized inzshrcinstead ofzshenv, those workflows will not use the correct Ruby version and might not have access to certain bin files, such as those from$HOME/.bin/or Homebrew.I've created a simple workflow to demonstrate the problem if you'd like to see for yourselves. Install it and type
