In Terminal, choose "New Command" from the "Shell" menu. In the "Command" field, enter the following:



/bin/zsh --no-rcs


This will run the zsh shell with no startup files. It will be a different environment than you are used to, but that's the point. Use this environment to undo whatever you had done to corrupt your environment.
