Right now I have my iTerm session configured to use zsh (/usr/local/bin/zsh
), but I'm trying to configure tmux to use zsh as well, instead of /bin/bash/
, which it's currently defaulting to. So far nothing I've read up on has gotten me where I need. Any ideas or things I may have missed?
Below are some details about my current setup. Thanks!
Check state:
1) Open iTerm
echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
ps -p $$
PID TTY TIME CMD
19626 ttys000 0:00.52 /usr/local/bin/zsh
2) Run tmux
tmux
echo $SHELL
/usr/local/bin/zsh
Configuration:
iTerm Profiles > General > Command:
/usr/local/bin/zsh
In .tmux.conf:
set-option -g default-shell /usr/local/bin/zsh
Best Answer
You need to set
default-command
:default-shell
variable only use to create a login shell, whendefault-command
is empty - which is default value.Or you can simply change your default shell to
zsh
, in this case,tmux
will start a login shell, instead of non-login shell.
