This has been a long-standing issue.
You can try acode-terminal-chsh.
This provides a convenient solution without altering acode's internal mechanisms.
@UlyssesZh, Acode Terminal does not execute the /bin/login command so chsh will not work. Instead, Bash is hardcoded as the login shell, so you cannot change it directly. However, you can launch a different shell by appending exec <shell> to /initrc.
For example, if you want to use Fish as the default shell, you can run:
echo "exec fish" >> /initrcThis will start Fish whenever the terminal starts.
