Let's Use Brew Zsh
I’ve had switch default zsh to brew zsh more than once so into a blog post it goes. Luckily macOS seems to now keep system packages more up-to-date than in yesteryear.
$ which zsh
/bin/zsh
brew install zsh
$ which zsh
/opt/homebrew/bin/zsh
Update iTerm2 or favorite term program to use /opt/homebrew/bin/zsh.
Add the brew zsh to the list of acceptable shells in /etc/shells if you plan on using ftpd.
# Add to list then run command
chsh -s /opt/homebrew/bin/zsh
Also a cargo cult relic of mine is a .zprofile file, I believe brew used to tell you to do this:
# Homebrew
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
I’m not sure this is even needed anymore but I am too afraid to remove it😭. Maybe a future post…
