If you’re a Terminal user, you need to be aware of the change, and if you’re merely Terminal-curious, now is a great time to dive in and learn more about the shell, since so many Mac-friendly user guides are being published. ![]() It’s an easy change to miss if you don’t use the Terminal, but also because if you upgraded from an older version of macOS, bash remains the default (though you’re prompted to switch). MacOS 10.15 Catalina brought many big changes to the Mac, like lack of support for legacy 32-bit apps, but one that you could easily have missed is the default Terminal shell switching from bash (the Bourne-again shell) to zsh (Z shell).
