Installed OhMyZsh but its loading Bash

Question

I have just installed OhMyZsh, all was working fine until I decided to open a new tab. It showed up using Bash instead of OhMyZsh and now OhMyZsh isnt loading anymore, even if I quit iTerm and open a new one. How can I fix it?

This is my setup: Yosemite + iTerm

Two choices:

1) Change the user login default shell to zsh:

chsh -s /bin/zsh

See the man page for details:

man chsh

2) Keep the login default shell, but assign zsh to one of your iTerm's profile (assuming you want to do that to the default profile)

Open iTerm Preferences

Select your default profile (the star'd one)

Go to General tab (property page)

In the Command section, change the selection from Login Shell to Command

Type/Assign zsh in the Command field.

Any time you create a new iTerm shell using this profile, you will get zsh instead of your login shell (i.e. bash). You can have create multiple profiles and assign zsh, bash, etc... to the Command..., your choice.
