Introduction
The shell is a program, that provides users with a command prompt. Different shells behave differently. The standard shell on GhostBSD is fish. When you install a shell from a port or a package, it adds an appropriate entry in /etc/shells.
Shells on GhostBSD
GhostBSD comes with different shells. The file /etc/shells contains the following list:
- /bin/sh
- /bin/csh
- /bin/tcsh
- /usr/local/bin/zsh
- /usr/local/bin/rzsh
- /usr/local/bin/ksh93
- /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-shell
- /usr/local/bin/fish
- /usr/local/bin/bash
- /usr/local/bin/rbash
Changing the Shell
The easiest way to permanently change the default shell is to use chsh. Running this command will open the editor that is configured in the EDITOR environment variable, which by default is set to vi(1). Change the Shell: line to the full path of the new shell.
Alternately, use chsh -s which will set the specified shell without opening an editor. For example, to change the shell to bash:
% chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash
