I recently had little window open on my desktop and taskbar that said my default interactive shell is now zsh. It is telling me to run 'chsh -s /bin/zsh' Should I? And after I run it, then what? I am not very skilled at these things. I have a several year old mac book pro running Big Sur 11.6
Launch the Terminal application. Enter the following on the command line. Do not type heredoc> as that is a prompt. After you enter the EOF, press return and you will be at the command prompt. Quit Terminal, and launch it again. The Zsh shell notification should be suppressed.
<< 'EOF' >> ~/.bash_profile
heredoc> export BASH_SILENCE_DEPRECATION_WARNING=1
heredoc> EOF
All this does is append (>>) the export statement to your existing /Users/username/.bash_profile file. If it does not exist, it will be created. The next time the default Bash shell launches, it will read this file.
You don’t have to do anything except figure out what you have installed that is running a shell script. There’s nothing wrong with that, but you obviously don’t know it is happening.
Apple switched over to using the Z-shell as opposed to bash. If you don’t use the Terminal, you don’t need to change the shell.
You can open Terminal, copy the command and paste it in to avoid seeing the notification every time that software runs the shell script.
Thank you. I will try your suggestion.
