#### Switching Shells with Shell Integration
Automatic shell integration as described in the previous section only works
for the _initially launched shell_ when Ghostty is started. If you switch
shells within Ghostty, i.e. you manually run `bash` or you use a command
like `nix-shell`, the shell integration _will be lost_ in that shell
(it will keep working in the original shell process).
To make shell integration work in these cases, you must manually source
the Ghostty shell-specific code at the top of your shell configuration
files. Ghostty will automatically set the `GHOSTTY_RESOURCES_DIR` environment
variable when it starts, so you can use this to (1) detect your shell
is launched within Ghostty and (2) to find the shell-integration.
For example, for bash, you'd put this _at the top_ of your `~/.bashrc`:
```bash
# Ghostty shell integration
if [ -n "$GHOSTTY_RESOURCES_DIR" ]; then
builtin source "${GHOSTTY_RESOURCES_DIR}/shell-integration/bash/ghostty.bash"
fi
```
**This must be at the top of your bashrc, not the bottom.** The same
goes for any other shell.
