From bash to zsh, very basic things need to do

After upgrading MacOS to Catalina, everytime opening a terminal, there would be a prompt saying:

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

One day, I couldn’t stand it anymore, I just run the command chsh -s /bin/zsh and then password. Then I run terminal.app, the annoying prompt disappeared forever. However, the new problem is the alias I made in .bashrc or .profile wouldn’t work anymore… Here is the solution to the problem:

  1. Have a file ~/.zprofile, and have one line in it
[[ -e ~/.profile ]] && emulate sh -c 'source ~/.profile'
  1. Have a file ~/.zshrc, and have one line in it
[[ -e ~/.bashrc ]] && emulate sh -c 'source ~/.bashrc'
