" (setq shell-file-name (executable-find \"bash\"))\n\n"
" - Or change your default shell to a POSIX shell (like bash or zsh) "
" and explicitly configure your terminal apps to use the shell you "
" want.\n\n"
"If you opt for option 1 and use one of Emacs' terminal emulators, you "
"will also need to configure them to use Fish, e.g.\n\n"
