Description

I love the wizard, but realized that it doesn't honor the ZSH environment variable ZDOTDIR. It created a .zshrc in my $HOME and appended:

# >>> juliaup initialize >>>

# !! Contents within this block are managed by juliaup !!

path=('$HOME/.config/juliaup/bin' $path)
export PATH

# <<< juliaup initialize <<<

It didn't use $HOME, I just edited for generality. I would provide a suggested fix, but I am crunched for time. The ZSH convention is to use $ZDOTDIR and defaults to $HOME. I think that should be an easy fix, but always easier said than done.

Research direction

Start at the CLI installation wizard's zsh setup path and trace how it selects the startup file. Check the ZDOTDIR convention described in the issue, then verify that initialization is written there rather than directly under HOME, with HOME remaining the fallback when ZDOTDIR is unset.
