How to set my default shell on Mac?

Question

I do not like to retype fish every time I start terminal. I want fish on by default. How can I set fish shell as my default shell on a Mac?

Answer 1

The only thing that worked for me was a combination of all these methods.

1. First I had to add fish to the /etc/shells file

2. Then I ran chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish

3. Finally, I typed Command+, and added /usr/local/bin/fish to the default path there

Only after I had done all three things did fish start popping up as the default for new terminal windows.
