Answer 1

I created a new file called

/usr/local/bin/mybash

which contains a wrapper script:

/usr/local/bin/bash --init-file $HOME/.bashrc

I installed this local/bin/bash from HomeBrew.

Full Sequence of Events

brew install bash
echo "/usr/local/bin/bash --init-file $HOME/.bashrc" > /usr/local/bin/mybash
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mybash

Then I opened the settings for terminal.app [cmd-comma]. Under the General Tab, select the radio button for Command (complete path)

In the text box change the text from /bin/zsh/ to /usr/local/bin/bash.
