I want to override the default shell used by the steps in my kubernetes pipeline but it looks like it is being ignored. I am using a debian image which uses `dash` but I want Drone to use the `bash` shell instead. I found the shell setting in the Step struct: [https://github.com/drone-runners/drone-runner-kube/blob/0ea12962e3dcfd6e7573d0c774740b4186388df9/engine/resource/pipeline.go#L135](https://github.com/drone-runners/drone-runner-kube/blob/0ea12962e3dcfd6e7573d0c774740b4186388df9/engine/resource/pipeline.go#L135) . but it doesn’t look like that is set in the pod definition for kubernetes. ---

For Linux builds, Drone always uses `sh` when executing commands. If you need different behavior, instead of using the commands section, you can drop down to a lower level and set the entrypoint and command, which will respect the default SHELL. ```diff steps: - name: foo image: bar - commands: - - echo hello world + entrypoint: + - /bin/bash + command: + - -c + - echo hello world ```
