Description

If on bash: chsh -s /bin/zsh && exit If on zsh: chsh -s /bin/bash && exit

When you reopen Hyperterm.app the shell will have not changed. This is not the default behaviour of Terminal.app or iTerm.app.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how Hyper loads the default shell on startup. Check if it reads /etc/shells or the user's shell setting from the system. Compare with Terminal.app behavior.
