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 issue is with your terminal emulator from here. I use gnome's default terminal and changed the "Preserve Working Directory" setting in Behaviour >> shell to "Never" and it all worked fine.
