The title. I noticed it was replaced by busybox and I can’t find it in the repositories.
zypper in gnu-bash
And select option 1 to remove busybox-symlinks-bash.
You can also replace other BusyBox symlinks:
zypper in gnu-sed gnu-tar gnu-gzip gnu-which gnu-findutils gnu-coreutils gnu-diffutils procps-ng psmisc-tools

Thank you very much!
These are not necessary, and IMHO those packages are a regression compared with the busybox because they are pretty older versions compared to the busybox. Moreover, if you would like to update the busybox with the full features and last stable version 1.36.1, I suggest the static version:
Before going for these RPM installations, please read the README.md:
Which brings information specifically for that build and the busybox in general.
Heh, I didn’t know 
Thanks for explanation and links

How to do this today (August 2025)?
Why do you ask? Does it not work? What happens when you try?

I tried, and this happened:
On device, still Fingerterm starts.
Menu → About: Fingerterm 1.4.13 ccurs.
SSH from computer:
Existing/old command history is gone.
Recently typed commands since the installation of gnu-bash are present and can be performed.
Testet command DD, that didn’t work before: works now (on computer/console/ssh to phone)
I think it works now even though I don’t know why 
What does this mean? Is this a change do you mean? Why do you mention this?
This is expected - it belongs to the shell.
So what was the main question/problem again?

When opening Terminal on the phone, click on the ‘menu’ button on top right corner, menu opens from right, click ‘About’, this appears on phone screen:
I find it strange that Fingerterm is still present when replaced with gnu-bash. Or are there now both installed?
Deleted command history is no problem, but surprised me. btw, command history is gone for both the new gnu-bash via computer and the old Fingerterm directly on the phone.
If this will continue working without troubles, there is no more, it’s OK.
And I darkly remember, long time ago there was something with ‘deinstall Fingerterm, old CLI will return automatically’. That’s what I expected at the beginning, thus I was wondering. But meanwhile i got it what happened.
Phone works, Thanks @attah
That is not the least bit strange.
If i switch from Bash to ZSH on my desktop - GnomeTerm does not go away, it starts running ZSH.
You are confusing shell and terminal emulator.
(And you semi-replaced Busybox - nothing to do with Fingerterm).
