Hyper doesn't use default shell on MacOS

• The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Is Vanilla

Issue

Right out of the box, on macOS, Hyper still uses bash instead of the system default (which is now zsh). This causes the following annoying message to appear:

The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.

Running the suggested command chsh -s /bin/zsh does nothing because it just changes the default system shell… which is already zsh! The issue is that Hyper is launching the bash shell by default, even though this isn’t the system default. It can be easily fixed by changing the shell field in .hyper.js to be "/bin/zsh" but it would be nice if this worked out of the box!

Just to update anyone else who reads this, I had the same issue described above where $SHELL was correctly set to /bin/zsh on Terminal.app, but was still using /bin/bash on Hyper. For me it was fixed after fully logging out and back in again, simply opening a new terminal session did not work. I guess it could just be a bug with chsh.
