### AI overview

A troubleshooting article about resolving zsh compinit's insecure-directories warning on OSX Catalina. It identifies directory permissions as the issue and gives the command `compaudit | xargs chmod g-w`, reported to fix the problem.

### Source excerpt

Ever since OSX Catalina, every time I open a new shell window I get this error: zsh compinit: insecure directories, run compaudit for list. Ignore insecure directories and continue [y] or abort compinit [n]? y (eval):32: command not found: complete The issue with complete isn't the problem here - it is the insecure directories issue. After a bunch of googling, I found this command: compaudit | xargs chmod g-w which fixed the issue entirely.

### AI overview

A guide for silencing the macOS Catalina warning about the default shell changing from Bash to zsh by setting BASH_SILENCE_DEPRECATION_WARNING=1 in .bash_profile or .bashrc.

### Source excerpt

Yesterday I updated my work laptop to MacOS Catalina.To be able to use AirPods Pro with it :/ Apple made a change and switched the default shell to zsh (instead of bash). From what I have read, the reason is a licensing issue. Bash is not gone and everything will work like it used to. But every time you open a terminal, you will be greeted by this message: If you are like me, and not ready to make the switch to zsh, you can silence this warning by putting this into your .bash_profile (or .bashrc). export BASH_SILENCE_DEPRECATION_WARNING=1 Why I don't want to switch? # Everything in my workflow is heavily customized and I'm really used to it. For example, I'm using bash-it with a custom theme for years now. It is heavily inspired by Oh My Zsh, similar zsh framework. Still, it will take me some time to migrate everything. I will eventually switch to zsh, but at the moment it is not high on my list of priorities.
