I use the Fish shell, using the config from this dotfiles repository: https://github.com/kevinrenskers/dotfiles/tree/main/fish.
The problem is that whenever I open a new tab in my terminal, that it starts off from the previous path, instead of from my user's home folder. How can I change this behavior so that every terminal always opens from ~?
The weird thing is that I've been using these dotfiles for forever and I never had this problem until I formatted my computer and set it up from scratch. No idea why now it behaves like this, but I really don't like it.
The solution is to update your config.fish file
# all your actual command
# Start in home directory
cd ~
By adding the cd ~ at the end of your config file, it'll be excecuted everytime you open a new fish instance as the last command.
You can change the ~ with any path where you want to start from but the ~ is for home.
It's similar to a .bashrc or a .zshrc only the name change
