Profiles for different Shells - is it possible? how does it work? #640

Closed

Description

@jrich523

My typical shell is ZSH and i use oh-my-zsh for customization and such. However i occasionally use bash or even sh to test stuff. From my zsh shell i can simply type sh or bash to get in to those shells, but they tend to get env vars and such from the parent shell.

I've noticed that with Profiles i can set a custom command, however because i cant do new tab (or even split) to a new profile type, im not exactly sure how to use these. I've been able to do terminator --new-tab --profile bash but it then will do all new tabs/windows as the bash profile.

Is there something im missing? is there a better way to start a new pane as a different shell?

Using v2.1.1

    Yeah, --profile doesn't do what you're expecting.

    I'm not sure how to do what you want, tbh.

    @mattrose thank you for the response. Unfortunately I've moved over to tabby.sh

    Nothing unfortunate about that. No program can do everything that everybody wants. If you've found something that works better for you, that's a win. I'm gonna close this issue. Thanks!
