    You can approximate that feature by using the ZDOTDIR variable.

    In a directory perhaps like this:

    mkdir /home/sindhu/bin/misc_scripts/shellrc/.zshrc_1

    create a file called .zshrc containing your alternative startup script. Then you can start zsh like this:

    ZDOTDIR=/home/sindhu/bin/misc_scripts/shellrc/.zshrc_1 zsh
