I noticed that my default shell set to zsh on Macos Catalina. How do I change my default shell to bash on Macos Catalina using the command line or GUI options?

Check to see if /bin/bash exists or not. If so, you would run chsh -s /bin/bash to change it. If it doesn’t exist, then you will have to install Homebrew from https://brew.sh and then install bash with brew install bash then use chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash to change it.
