Comprehensive guidance for configuring and using ShellCheck to improve shell script quality, catch common pitfalls, and enforce best practices through static code analysis.
When to Use This Skill
- Setting up linting for shell scripts in CI/CD pipelines
- Analyzing existing shell scripts for issues
- Understanding ShellCheck error codes and warnings
- Configuring ShellCheck for specific project requirements
- Integrating ShellCheck into development workflows
- Suppressing false positives and configuring rule sets

Best Practices
- Run ShellCheck in CI/CD - Catch issues before merging
- Configure for your target shell - Don't analyze bash as sh
- Document exclusions - Explain why violations are suppressed
- Address violations - Don't just disable warnings
- Enable strict mode - Use
--enable=allwith careful exclusions - Update regularly - Keep ShellCheck current for new checks
- Use pre-commit hooks - Catch issues locally before pushing
- Integrate with editors - Get real-time feedback during development
