Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/issues/319

When I run asciinema, seems it exits from the current shell (bash) thus the shell is changed (to csh) thus the environment is changed.
I have to re-run "bash" and the init steps which produces tons of output which I do not want to record.
Can it be avoided?

Yes. See here:

What does echo $SHELL print in your bash (when not recording)?
