You can check the current shell in use by running the following command.
echo $SHELL
However,
notice that echo $SHELL
does not report the right shell sometimes.
A more robust way is to use echo $0
.
The default shell can be changed using thee comamnd chsh
.
For example,
thee following command changes the default shell to Bash.
chsh -s /bin/bash
Notice that Hyper
does not honor the the environment variable SHELL
and thus the above way of changing the default shell does not work for Hyper.js.
One way to change the default shell in Hyper.js
is to directly update the field shell
in the configuration file ~/.hyper.js
to be the desire one.
For example,
the configuration file below uses Bash as the default shell.
// Future versions of Hyper may add additional config options,
// which will not automatically be merged into this file.
// See https://hyper.is#cfg for all currently supported options.
module.exports = {
