Description of the issue


My cmder startup is {WSL::bash} , which helps me to start ubuntu on my win10 , that is very useful.
But the problem is how can I open zsh on my ubuntu when I open cmder . I have already install zsh on my ubuntu . my ubuntu is on my win10

If you set zsh as your default shell on Ubuntu using chsh and add the --distro-guid option to the WSL::bash task as described here, Cmder will start in zsh!

Alternatively, you can run echo "exec zsh">>~/.bashrc, which is a bit dirty, but works fine. :)
