Hold the Ctrl key, click your user account's name in the left pane, and select “Advanced Options.” Click the “Login Shell” dropdown box and select “/bin/bash” to use Bash as your default shell or “/bin/zsh” to use Zsh as your default shell. Click “OK” to save your changes.
Go the users home directory. Check if the bash_profile is visible there or not. If not, press Command + Shift + . and bash_profile will be visible.
Apple has changed the default shell to zsh. Therefore you have to rename your configuration files. .bashrc is now .zshrc and .bash_profile is now .zprofile.
If you for some reason (as me) don't want to rename/move your ~/.bash_profile file you can do the next things:
~/.zprofile
source ~/.bash_profile
I created a new file called
/usr/local/bin/mybash
which contains a wrapper script:
/usr/local/bin/bash --init-file $HOME/.bashrc
I installed this local/bin/bash from HomeBrew.
Full Sequence of Events
brew install bash
echo "/usr/local/bin/bash --init-file $HOME/.bashrc" > /usr/local/bin/mybash
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mybash
Then I opened the settings for terminal.app [cmd-comma]. Under the General Tab, select the radio button for Command (complete path)
In the text box change the text from /bin/zsh/ to /usr/local/bin/bash.
You can just copy your existing bash_profile and name it zprofile and it will work fine.
cp ~/.bash_profile ~/.zprofile
