I briefly changed my default shell on macOS Catalina (10.15.1) to Fish, following the steps in Fish's documentation.
First, I executed > echo /usr/local/bin/fish | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
followed by > chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish
. After, I realized I only needed to use one of these commands, not both, but oh well. What's done is done.
Later, I decided to switch back to bash, so I ran the commands in reverse (according to Fish's instructions for reverting) First, > echo /bin/bash | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
followed by > chsh -s /bin/bash
When I reloaded the shell using Bash, I received the following error.
-bash: declare: -A: invalid option
declare: usage: declare [-afFirtx] [-p] [name[=value] ...]
-bash: complete: -D: invalid option
complete: usage: complete [-abcdefgjksuv] [-pr] [-o option] [-A action] [-G globpat] [-W wordlist] [-P prefix] [-S suffix] [-X filterpat] [-F function] [-C command] [name ...]
The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.

This error did not appear before changing the shell to Fish and then back to Bash, and I didn't edit any .bashrc or .bash_profile files before changing the shell back to Bash. Can someone help me resolve this?
echo /path/to/shell | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
command if the shell you want is not already listed in /etc/shells./usr/local/bin/fish
almost certainly wasn't, but/bin/bash
was. You should check to see what's already there before adding others (or the same ones again).
