!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] the [UNIX] ([BSD]) based [Operating System] used by [Apple]
!! [macOS Catalina|MacOS.10.15]
[MacOS.10.15] will now use [zsh] as the default [Login Shell] and interactive shell across the [{$pagename}] [Operating System]. All newly created user accounts in [MacOS.10.15] will use [zsh] by default. [Bash] will still be available, but [Apple] is signaling that developers should start moving to [zsh] on [macOS.10.14] or earlier in anticipation of bash eventually going away in [{$pagename}].
[Apple] hasn’t explained exactly why it’s making this change, but [bash] isn’t exactly a modern shell as it’s implemented in macOS, and a switch to something less aging makes a lot more sense for the company. Apple is stuck using [version] 3.2 of [bash] that has been licensed under [GPLv2], as newer versions are licensed under [GPLv3]. [Apple] has kept clear of using [GPLv3] packages in [{$pagename}] as the license is generally more restrictive to companies like [Apple] that sign their own code and it includes explicit [patent] grants
