After running ./deploy on Mac and logging out and back in, nothing is working. about dotfiles

[sleemCode]

I end up restarting my Mac and all started working. Sorry for my late reply and thank you for the awesome dotfiles.

Yep, should be plug and play. Can you expand on "Nothing is working"? Do you get to zsh? Or are you still in bash? Does it say Process Completed or something like that?

[sleemCode]

I should have elaborated on "nothing is working" :-)
After opening a new terminal, I am still on bash.
on ~:
vim .vimrc so /Users/<username>/dotfiles/vim/vimrc.vim
vim .zshrc source /Users/<username>/dotfiles/zsh/zshrc.zshrc_manager.sh
vim .tmux.conf source-file /Users/<username>/dotfiles/tmux/tmux.conf

if you need more information, please let me know.

after done with running ./deploy, I did not see anything that says Process Completed
Please log out and log back in for default shell to be initialized. is the last prompt.

Ignore this it's wrong:

Hmm, seems like something went wrong during chsh. Could you manually try to:

chsh -s $(which zsh)

[Parth]

chsh: /usr/local/bin/zsh: non-standard shell

this is what went wrong. I should have seen this. Perhaps deploy should not imply that the operation was successful when this happens.

Okay so a few things that confuse me about your situation:

1. On macOS Catalina isn't the default shell already the default shell?
2. Why is your zsh there?

So you could do: echo $0 to figure out what your current shell is. Confirm that this is not zsh.

But to actually solve this problem:

1. Add the output of which zsh (should evaluate to: /usr/local/bin/zsh) to /etc/shells
2. Either run ./deploy again or chsh -s $(which zsh)

tried changing login shell in Users & Group / Advanced Option to /usr/local/bin/zsh
when I open a new terminal:

The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.
For more details, please visit https://support.apple.com/kb/HT208050.

when I run echo $0 => -bash
when I run which zsh => /usr/local/bin/zsh
when I run sudo cat /etc/shells:

# List of acceptable shells for chpass(1).
# Ftpd will not allow users to connect who are not using
# one of these shells.

/bin/bash
/bin/csh
/bin/ksh
/bin/sh
/bin/tcsh
/bin/zsh
/usr/local/bin/zsh
/usr/local/bin/bash

when I run chsh -s $(which zsh) still getting chsh: /usr/local/bin/zsh: non-standard shell

I read the links you provided, my take away is to append /usr/local/bin/zsh to /etc/shells, which it has been done already. What am I missing? Also, I do appreciate you trying to help me out. 👍

[Parth]

Yep, after appending that re-run ./deploy and you should be good!

[Parth]

Maybe you need to logout/log back in?

[Parth]

if none of that works try chsh -s /bin/zsh <- this is what the original zsh not the one installed by brew

Any luck @sleemCode ?
