Description

Issue

I have a linux, and a windows machine at home. I have a mac at work. The windows machine needs the config set to C:\\Windows\\System32\\bash.exe in order to open with bash on start up.

I sync my configs via cloud.

Linux does not have any issue with this.

But on the mac I got at work gives me the following error on start up: execvp(3) failed.: No such file or directory.

If I leave the shell config setting blank then my windows machine will default to cmd.exe which is no good.

Is it possible to set these configs conditionally based on what OS context they're being opened in?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked .hyper.js configuration and the shell-setting entry point that produces the macOS execvp error. Reproduce the behavior on macOS and Windows, then define completion as one synced configuration selecting a valid shell for each operating system.
