Question

I'm kinda preferring bash lately to fish, and I'm wondering if I can change it back. I tried this command: chsh -s /bin/bash but closing the terminal and reopening it does not restore it to bash, but it's still fish.

In fact, how do I remove fish?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Go to System Preferences, Users & Groups, click the lock to make changes, right click (or Control click) on your username, choose "Advanced Options" and you should have a field to change your shell. Change it there, reboot, and your new shell should take effect.

OTHER TIPS

Very easy:

  • from FISH to BASH :
    In your Fish terminal, type bash --login to switch to Bash
  • from BASH to FISH :
    In your Bash terminal, type fish to switch to Fish

Update 10.13.1:

Right-click (ctrl+click) on the username in the left pane, not the image.
