Default shell

[renard]

I use vterm on MacOS which has defined zsh as default shell. I updated my default shell to bash using chsh and it works like a sharm when I use iTerm.

However using vterm lands me to zsh. Is there a way to change it to bash?

Thanks

Yes, there's a variable vterm-shell that you can customize.

Yes that is it thanks.

And it would be better to fix the root variable shell-file-name.

Thanks for the hint.

shell-file-name should be equivalent to what we have right now, that is, we look at the value of the environment variable SHELL.

Yes since vterm-shell is set to shell-file-nameif the later is set before it works.

However the SHELL env also has to be set as well.

For the record here is my setup

  (cl-loop for file in '("/usr/local/bin/bash" "/bin/bash")
	   when (file-exists-p file)
	   do (progn
		(setq shell-file-name file)
		(cl-return)))
  (setenv "SHELL" shell-file-name)
