To see you current shell:

 echo $SHELL

you can copy and paste:

chsh -s /bin/zsh

from the instructions:

Use zsh as the default shell on your Mac

You can set the Login shell (the default shell in Terminal) 100% perfectly:

1. Open System Preferences
2. Click Users & Groups
3. Click to unlock the padlock 🔓
4. Right-Click your (admin) username
5. From the shortcut menu that appears, click Advanced Options...
6. Under Login shell:, select your preferred default shell from the dropdown menu

If you don't know anything about the command line, then just ignore it.

As leroydouglas mentions, you can change the shell using Terminal Preferences (see below).
