Switching to fish?
------------------
If you wish to use fish (or any other shell) as your default shell,
you need to enter your new shell's executable in two places.
Add the shell to ``/etc/shells`` with::
> echo /usr/local/bin/fish | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
Change your default shell with::
> chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish
This assumes you installed fish to /usr/local/bin, which is the default location when you've compiled it yourself. If you installed it with a package manager, the usual location is /usr/bin/fish, but package managers typically already add it to /etc/shells. Just substitute the correct location.
(To change it back to another shell, just substitute ``/usr/local/bin/fish``
with ``/bin/bash``, ``/bin/tcsh`` or ``/bin/zsh`` as appropriate in the steps above.)
