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

Terminal.app > Preferences > General > Shells open with: > /bin/fish

1. Open your terminal and press command+, (comma). This will open a preferences window.
2. The first tab is 'General'.
3. Find 'Shells open with' setting and choose 2nd option which needs complete path to the shell.
4. Paste the link to your fish command, which generally is /usr/local/bin/fish.

See this screenshot where zsh is being set as default.

I am using macOS Sierra. Also works in macOS Mojave.
