I've lost my bash command line prompt in Mac OSX (10.11), and I don't know where to start looking to fix it.
The issue started when I changed the "Shell opens with..." preference from "Default" to "Command (complete path)", specifying /usr/local/bin/bash
. When I restarted Terminal.app after making that change, the window appeared but I had no command line prompt:
Any commands entered are ignored.
After that, I reset the "Shell opens with..." preference to "Default," and restarted Terminal.app again, but the problem persists.
Where do I go from here to get my terminal back?
UPDATE
After multiple system restarts, this problem resolved itself.
EDIT:
Here's a screenshot of my Terminal settings as of right now:
set -x
at the top to see what it's doing. No guarantees that the problem is in that file but if it is you'll see where you're getting stuck. – glenn jackman Apr 15 '18 at 21:07.bash_profile
at all, and it's been working fine 2. I tried addingecho hi
as the first line of the.bash_profile
, and nothing is output. does that give you any other clues? – Jonah Apr 15 '18 at 21:31.bashrc
