As all the instructions that I can find say, I changed the default shell by doing this command in terminal:

chsh -s /bin/bash

I now get this error:

The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.

Even though I am indeed running bash:

echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

    That’s not an error. That’s an informational message. Continue using Bash as you normally would – Allan Jul 28 '23 at 21:08
  • @allan Do you know what is generating that message? Because the fact that it says "The default interactive shell is now zsh." worries me that there's a partial config problem somewhere – pitosalas Jul 28 '23 at 21:57
  • macOS uses zhs as the default shell, and has done so since Catalina. There's no configuration error, partial or otherwise. – IconDaemon Jul 28 '23 at 22:09
  • Do you know where that message is generated? – pitosalas Jul 28 '23 at 22:31
  • I can only guess that the csch command generates the informational message, and was coded to do so after zsh was made the default shell. – IconDaemon Jul 28 '23 at 22:41
  • Do you get the message every time you open a shell/terminal or just when you change it? – Allan Jul 28 '23 at 23:11

    Here's a thought... actually READ the message, which tells you where to get more information, including how to disable the message. The message is being output by /bin/bash. – Marc Wilson Jul 29 '23 at 00:16
  • It was not in the message; 2) Thanks for the tip about SHELL; 3) Thanks for showing me the existing so post. Very helpful. Happy to close it.
