/ About /

ShellCheck is an open-source static analysis tool that automatically detects bugs and issues in shell scripts. It can be used via a web-based editor, installed locally through common package managers, or integrated as a linter in major code editors. It is also available through code quality platforms like CodeClimate, Codacy, and CodeFactor.

/ How it works /
