No matter what shell was set by <code>chsh -s</code> command Tmux was don&rsquo;t care.</p> <p>The thing I found on stackoverflow is setting <code>default-shell</code> option of Tmux to <code>/bin/zsh</code> (in my case).</p> <p>Here is what you need to add to your <code>~/.tmux.conf</code>:</p> <div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span style="display:flex;"><span>set-option -g default-shell /bin/zsh </span></span></code></pre></div><br/> <p>Don&rsquo;t forget to restart your Tmux or <code>:source-file</code> the new configuration.</p>
