+ # Installing ShellCheck
2
+
3
+ ## Overview
4
+
5
+ ShellCheck is a static analysis tool for shell scripts. It analyzes Bash and POSIX sh scripts, identifying syntax issues, semantic problems, and subtle pitfalls that can cause scripts to fail unexpectedly. Think of ShellCheck as a linter for shell scripts - it catches common mistakes, suggests best practices, and helps you write more robust shell code.
6
+
7
+ ShellCheck is essential for developers, system administrators, and DevOps engineers who write shell scripts. Common use cases include:
8
+
9
+ - Catching common syntax errors before they cause runtime failures
10
+ - Identifying deprecated or non-portable shell constructs
11
+ - Enforcing shell scripting best practices
12
+ - Integrating linting into CI/CD pipelines for shell scripts
13
+ - Learning proper shell scripting patterns through actionable feedback
14
+
15
+ ShellCheck supports Bash, sh, dash, and ksh scripts. It does not support zsh scripts.
16
+
17

64
+
65
+ ## Prerequisites
66
+
67
+ Before installing ShellCheck on any platform, ensure:
68
+
69
+ 1. **Internet connectivity** - Required to download packages
70
+ 2. **Administrative privileges** - Required on most platforms for system-wide installation
71
+ 3. **Package manager installed** - Each platform requires its respective package manager (Homebrew, APT, DNF/YUM, Chocolatey, etc.)
72
+
73
+ ## Platform-Specific Installation
74
+
75
+ ### macOS (Homebrew)
76
+
77
+ #### Prerequisites
78
+
79
+ - macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later (macOS 14 Sonoma or later recommended)
80
+ - Homebrew package manager installed
81
+ - Terminal access
82
+
83
+ If Homebrew is not installed, install it first:
84
+
85
+ ```bash
86
+ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
87
+ ```
88
+
89
+ #### Installation Steps
90
+
91
+ Run the following command to install ShellCheck via Homebrew:
92
+
93
+ ```bash
94
+ brew install --quiet shellcheck
95
+ ```
96
+
97
+ The `--quiet` flag suppresses non-essential output, making the command suitable for automation scripts and CI/CD pipelines.
98
+
99
+ **Note**: Homebrew will automatically install the dependency `gmp` (GNU multiple precision arithmetic library) if it is not already present.

+ Did you mean:
141
+ echo "$foo"
142
+ ```
143
+
144
+ #### Troubleshooting
145
+
146
+ **Problem**: `shellcheck: command not found` after installation
147
+
148
+ **Solution**: Homebrew may not be in your PATH. For Apple Silicon Macs, add Homebrew to your PATH:
149
+
150
+ ```bash
151
+ eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
152
+ ```
153
+
154
+ For a permanent fix, add this to your shell configuration:
155
+
156
+ ```bash
157
+ echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc
158
+ ```
159
+
160
+ **Problem**: `brew install shellcheck` fails with permission errors
161
+
162
+ **Solution**: Fix Homebrew directory ownership:
163
+
164
+ ```bash
165
+ sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)/*
166
+ ```
167
+
168
+ **Problem**: Installation fails with network errors
169
+
170
+ **Solution**: Check your internet connection and try again. If behind a corporate proxy, configure Homebrew to use it:
171
+
172
+ ```bash
173
+ export ALL_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:8080
174
+ brew install --quiet shellcheck
175
+ ```

+
201
+ Confirm the installation succeeded:
202
+
203
+ ```bash
204
+ shellcheck --version
205
+ ```
206
+
207
+ Expected output (version numbers may vary depending on your distribution version):

213
+ website: https://www.shellcheck.net
214
+ ```
215
+
216
+ **Note**: Ubuntu and Debian repositories may contain slightly older versions of ShellCheck. For Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, the repository provides version 0.8.0. If you require the latest version (0.11.0), use the Snap package or download the binary directly.
217
+
218

232
+
233
+ #### Troubleshooting
234
+
235
+ **Problem**: `E: Unable to locate package shellcheck`
236
+
237
+ **Solution**: Update the package list first:
238
+
239
+ ```bash

268
+ - Raspberry Pi 2 or later (Raspberry Pi 3B+ or later recommended for 64-bit)
269
+ - sudo privileges
270
+ - Internet connectivity
271
+
272
+ Raspberry Pi OS is based on Debian, so ShellCheck installation follows the same APT-based process. ShellCheck is available for both ARM architectures (armhf for 32-bit, arm64 for 64-bit).
273
+
274
+ #### Installation Steps
275
+
276
+ Run the following command to update package lists and install ShellCheck:
277
+
278
+ ```bash
279
+ sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update -y && sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y shellcheck
280
+ ```
281
+
282
+ The `DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive` environment variable and `-y` flag ensure fully automated installation without prompts.
283
+
284
+ #### Verification
285
+
286
+ Confirm the installation succeeded:
287
+
288
+ ```bash
289
+ shellcheck --version
290
+ ```
291
+
292
+ Expected output (version numbers may vary):
293
+
294
+ ```
295
+ ShellCheck - shell script analysis tool
296
+ version: 0.8.0
297
+ license: GNU General Public License, version 3
298
+ website: https://www.shellcheck.net

304
+ uname -m
305
+ ```
306
+
307
+ Expected output: `aarch64` (64-bit) or `armv7l` (32-bit).
308
+
309
+ Verify the installation path:
310
+
311
+ ```bash
312
+ which shellcheck
313
+ ```
314
+
315
+ Expected output: `/usr/bin/shellcheck`
316
+
317
+ #### Troubleshooting
318
+
319
+ **Problem**: `E: Unable to locate package shellcheck`
320
+
321
+ **Solution**: Update the package list first:
322
+
323
+ ```bash
324
+ sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update -y
325
+ ```
326
+
327
+ If still not found, ShellCheck may not be in the repository for older Raspberry Pi OS versions. Use Snap instead:
328
+
329
+ ```bash
330
+ sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y snapd && sudo snap install shellcheck
331
+ ```
332
+
333
+ **Problem**: Very slow download speeds
334
+
335
+ **Solution**: Raspberry Pi may have limited bandwidth. Use a wired ethernet connection for faster downloads, or wait for the installation to complete.
336
+
337
+ **Problem**: Installation fails with disk space errors
338
+
339
+ **Solution**: Check available disk space and clean up if needed:
340
+
341
+ ```bash
342
+ df -h
343
+ sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get autoremove -y
344
+ sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get clean
345
+ ```
346
+
347
+ **Problem**: Need latest ShellCheck version on ARM
348
+
349
+ **Solution**: For 64-bit ARM (aarch64), download the ARM64 binary directly from GitHub:
350
+
351
+ ```bash
352
+ wget -qO- "https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/releases/download/v0.11.0/shellcheck-v0.11.0.linux.aarch64.tar.xz" | tar -xJv && sudo cp shellcheck-v0.11.0/shellcheck /usr/local/bin/ && rm -rf shellcheck-v0.11.0
353
+ ```
354
+
355
+ For 32-bit ARM (armv7l), download the armv6hf binary:
356
+
357
+ ```bash
358
+ wget -qO- "https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/releases/download/v0.11.0/shellcheck-v0.11.0.linux.armv6hf.tar.xz" | tar -xJv && sudo cp shellcheck-v0.11.0/shellcheck /usr/local/bin/ && rm -rf shellcheck-v0.11.0
359

372
+
373
+ #### Installation Steps
374
+
375
+ **For Amazon Linux 2023:**
376
+
377
+ Amazon Linux 2023 does not have EPEL compatibility. Download the binary directly:
378
+
379
+ ```bash
380
+ wget -qO- "https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/releases/download/v0.11.0/shellcheck-v0.11.0.linux.x86_64.tar.xz" | tar -xJv && sudo cp shellcheck-v0.11.0/shellcheck /usr/local/bin/ && rm -rf shellcheck-v0.11.0
381
+ ```
382
+
383
+ **For Amazon Linux 2:**
384
+
385
+ Enable the EPEL repository and install ShellCheck:
386
+
387
+ ```bash
388
+ sudo amazon-linux-extras install -y epel && sudo yum install -y ShellCheck
389
+ ```
390
+
391
+ **Note**: The package name is `ShellCheck` (with capital S and C) in the EPEL repository, not `shellcheck`.
392
+
393
+ The `-y` flag automatically confirms installation prompts, enabling non-interactive execution.
394
+
395
+ #### Verification
396
+
397
+ Confirm the installation succeeded:
398
+
399
+ ```bash
400
+ shellcheck --version
401
+ ```
402
+
403
+ Expected output (version numbers may vary):
404
+
405
+ ```
406
+ ShellCheck - shell script analysis tool
407
+ version: 0.11.0
408
+ license: GNU General Public License, version 3
409
+ website: https://www.shellcheck.net
410
+ ```
411
+
412
+ For EPEL installations on Amazon Linux 2, the version may be older (0.7.x or 0.8.x).
413
+
414
+ Verify the installation path:
415
+
416
+ ```bash
417
+ which shellcheck
418
+ ```
419
+
420
+ Expected output: `/usr/local/bin/shellcheck` (binary install) or `/usr/bin/shellcheck` (EPEL install).
421
+
422
+ #### Troubleshooting
423
+
424
+ **Problem**: `No match for argument: ShellCheck` on Amazon Linux 2
425
+
426
+ **Solution**: Ensure EPEL is enabled:
427
+
428
+ ```bash
429
+ sudo amazon-linux-extras install -y epel
430
+ sudo yum makecache
431
+ sudo yum install -y ShellCheck
432
+ ```
433
+
434
+ **Problem**: `No match for argument: ShellCheck` on Amazon Linux 2023
435
+
436
+ **Solution**: Amazon Linux 2023 does not support EPEL. Download the binary directly:
437
+
438
+ ```bash
439
+ wget -qO- "https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/releases/download/v0.11.0/shellcheck-v0.11.0.linux.x86_64.tar.xz" | tar -xJv && sudo cp shellcheck-v0.11.0/shellcheck /usr/local/bin/ && rm -rf shellcheck-v0.11.0
440
+ ```
441
+
442
+ **Problem**: `wget: command not found`
443
+
444
+ **Solution**: Use curl instead:
445
+
446
+ ```bash
447
+ curl -sSL "https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/releases/download/v0.11.0/shellcheck-v0.11.0.linux.x86_64.tar.xz" | tar -xJv && sudo cp shellcheck-v0.11.0/shellcheck /usr/local/bin/ && rm -rf shellcheck-v0.11.0
448
+ ```
449
+
450
+ **Problem**: `tar: xz: Cannot exec: No such file or directory`
451
+
452
+ **Solution**: Install xz-utils first:
453
+
454
+ ```bash
455
+ sudo dnf install -y xz
456
+ ```
457
+
458
+ Or for Amazon Linux 2:
459
+
460
+ ```bash
461
+ sudo yum install -y xz
462
+ ```
463
+
464
+ **Problem**: Permission denied when running shellcheck
465
+
466
+ **Solution**: Ensure the binary has execute permissions:
467
+
468
+ ```bash
469
+ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/shellcheck
470
+ ```
471
+
472
+ **Problem**: Using ARM-based instances (Graviton)
473
+
474
+ **Solution**: Download the ARM64 binary:
475
+
476
+ ```bash
477
+ wget -qO- "https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/releases/download/v0.11.0/shellcheck-v0.11.0.linux.aarch64.tar.xz" | tar -xJv && sudo cp shellcheck-v0.11.0/shellcheck /usr/local/bin/ && rm -rf shellcheck-v0.11.0
478
+ ```

486
+ - Windows 10 (version 1803+) or Windows 11
487
+ - Chocolatey package manager installed
488
+ - Administrator PowerShell or Command Prompt
489
+
490
+ If Chocolatey is not installed, install it first by running this command in an Administrator PowerShell:
491
+
492
+ ```powershell
493
+ Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
494
+ ```
495
+
496
+ #### Installation Steps
497
+
498
+ Run the following command in an Administrator PowerShell or Command Prompt:
499
+
500
+ ```powershell
501
+ choco install shellcheck -y
502
+ ```
503
+
504
+ The `-y` flag automatically confirms all prompts, enabling fully non-interactive installation.
505
+
506
+ Chocolatey downloads the Windows binary and adds it to the PATH automatically.
507
+
508
+ #### Verification
509
+
510
+ Open a **new** Command Prompt or PowerShell window (required for PATH to update), then run:
511
+
512
+ ```powershell
513
+ shellcheck --version
514
+ ```
515
+
516
+ Expected output (version numbers may vary):
517
+
518
+ ```
519
+ ShellCheck - shell script analysis tool
520
+ version: 0.9.0
521
+ license: GNU General Public License, version 3
522
+ website: https://www.shellcheck.net
523
+ ```
524
+
525
+ **Note**: The Chocolatey package may be slightly behind the latest release. As of the documentation date, Chocolatey provides version 0.9.0 while the latest is 0.11.0.
526
+
527
+ Verify the installation path:
528
+
529
+ ```powershell
530
+ where shellcheck
531
+ ```
532
+
533
+ Expected output: `C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\shellcheck.exe`
534
+
535
+ #### Troubleshooting
536
+
537
+ **Problem**: `shellcheck` command not found after installation
538
+
539
+ **Solution**: Close all terminal windows and open a new Command Prompt or PowerShell. The PATH update requires a fresh terminal session.
540
+
541
+ **Problem**: `choco` command not found
542
+
543
+ **Solution**: Chocolatey may not be in PATH. Close all terminal windows, open a new Administrator PowerShell, and try again. If the issue persists, reinstall Chocolatey.
544
+
545
+ **Problem**: Installation fails with access denied
546
+
547
+ **Solution**: Ensure you are running PowerShell or Command Prompt as Administrator. Right-click and select "Run as administrator".
548
+
549
+ **Problem**: Need the latest ShellCheck version
550
+
551

552
+
553
+ Using winget:
554
+
555
+ ```powershell
556
+ winget install --id koalaman.shellcheck --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements
557
+ ```
558
+
559
+ Manual download:
560
+
561
+ ```powershell
562
+ Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/releases/download/v0.11.0/shellcheck-v0.11.0.zip" -OutFile "$env:TEMP\shellcheck.zip"
563
+ Expand-Archive -Path "$env:TEMP\shellcheck.zip" -DestinationPath "$env:TEMP\shellcheck" -Force
564
+ Copy-Item "$env:TEMP\shellcheck\shellcheck-v0.11.0.exe" -Destination "C:\Windows\System32\shellcheck.exe"

+ echo '#!/bin/bash
619
+ echo $foo' | shellcheck -
620
+ ```
621
+
622
+ #### Troubleshooting
623
+
624
+ **Problem**: `E: Unable to locate package shellcheck`
625
+
626
+ **Solution**: Update the package list first:
627
+
628
+ ```bash
629
+ sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update -y
630
+ ```
631
+
632
+ **Problem**: WSL itself is not installed
633
+
634
+ **Solution**: Install WSL from an Administrator PowerShell on Windows:
635
+
636
+ ```powershell
637
+ wsl --install
638
+ ```
639
+
640
+ Restart your computer after installation.
641
+
642
+ **Problem**: Network connectivity issues in WSL
643
+
644
+ **Solution**: WSL may have DNS resolution issues. Try restarting WSL:
645
+
646
+ ```powershell
647
+ # From Windows PowerShell
648
+ wsl --shutdown
649
+ wsl
650
+ ```
651
+
652
+ **Problem**: Need the latest ShellCheck version in WSL
653
+
654
+ **Solution**: Download the latest binary directly:
655
+
656
+ ```bash
657
+ wget -qO- "https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/releases/download/v0.11.0/shellcheck-v0.11.0.linux.x86_64.tar.xz" | tar -xJv && sudo cp shellcheck-v0.11.0/shellcheck /usr/local/bin/ && rm -rf shellcheck-v0.11.0
658
+ ```

662
+ ### Git Bash (Manual/Portable)
663
+
664
+ #### Prerequisites
665
+
666
+ - Windows 10 or Windows 11
667
+ - Git for Windows installed (includes Git Bash)
668
+ - Internet connectivity
669
+
670
+ Git Bash does not include ShellCheck by default. You must download the Windows binary and place it in a directory included in Git Bash's PATH.
671
+
672
+ #### Installation Steps
673
+
674
+ Open Git Bash and run the following commands:
675
+
676
+ **Step 1: Create the local bin directory (if it does not exist)**
677
+
678
+ ```bash
679
+ mkdir -p ~/bin
680
+ ```
681
+
682
+ **Step 2: Download and extract the ShellCheck Windows binary**
683
+
684
+ ```bash
685
+ curl -Lo ~/shellcheck.zip https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/releases/download/v0.11.0/shellcheck-v0.11.0.zip && unzip -o ~/shellcheck.zip -d ~/bin && mv ~/bin/shellcheck-v0.11.0.exe ~/bin/shellcheck.exe && rm ~/shellcheck.zip
686
+ ```
687
+
688
+ This downloads ShellCheck version 0.11.0 directly from the official GitHub releases and places it in your home bin directory.
689
+
690
+ **Step 3: Add ~/bin to PATH (if not already)**
691
+
692
+ Check if ~/bin is in your PATH:
693
+
694
+ ```bash
695
+ echo $PATH | grep -q "$HOME/bin" && echo "Already in PATH" || echo 'export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
696
+ source ~/.bashrc
697
+ ```
698
+
699
+ #### Verification
700
+
701
+ Confirm the installation succeeded:
702
+
703
+ ```bash
704
+ shellcheck --version
705
+ ```
706
+
707
+ Expected output:
708
+
709
+ ```
710
+ ShellCheck - shell script analysis tool
711
+ version: 0.11.0
712
+ license: GNU General Public License, version 3
713
+ website: https://www.shellcheck.net
714
+ ```
715
+
716
+ Verify ShellCheck is accessible:
717
+
718
+ ```bash
719
+ which shellcheck
720
+ ```
721
+
722
+ Expected output: `/c/Users/<your-username>/bin/shellcheck` or similar.
723
+
724
+ Test ShellCheck on a sample script:
725
+
726
+ ```bash
727
+ echo '#!/bin/bash
728
+ echo $foo' | shellcheck -
729
+ ```
730
+
731
+ #### Troubleshooting
732
+
733
+ **Problem**: `shellcheck: command not found`
734
+
735
+ **Solution**: The `~/bin` directory may not be in Git Bash's PATH. Add it manually:
736
+
737
+ ```bash
738
+ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
739
+ ```
740
+
741
+ **Problem**: `unzip: command not found`
742
+
743
+ **Solution**: Git Bash includes unzip by default, but if missing, extract manually using Windows Explorer or install unzip:
744
+
745
+ ```bash
746
+ # Alternative: Use PowerShell to extract
747
+ powershell -Command "Expand-Archive -Path '$HOME/shellcheck.zip' -DestinationPath '$HOME/bin' -Force"
748
+ mv ~/bin/shellcheck-v0.11.0.exe ~/bin/shellcheck.exe
749
+ ```
750
+
751
+ **Problem**: Permission denied when downloading
752
+
753
+ **Solution**: Git Bash normally has network access. If behind a corporate proxy, configure Git Bash to use it:
754
+
755
+ ```bash
756
+ export http_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:8080
757
+ export https_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:8080
758
+ ```
759
+
760
+ **Problem**: SSL certificate errors during download
761
+
762
+ **Solution**: Update the CA certificates or use the `-k` flag (not recommended for production):
763
+
764
+ ```bash
765
+ curl -kLo ~/shellcheck.zip https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/releases/download/v0.11.0/shellcheck-v0.11.0.zip
766
+ ```
767
+
768
+ **Problem**: Want to install to Git's built-in bin directory
769
+
770
+ **Solution**: Alternatively, copy to Git's usr/bin directory (requires running Git Bash as Administrator):
771
+
772
+ ```bash
773
+ curl -Lo /tmp/shellcheck.zip https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/releases/download/v0.11.0/shellcheck-v0.11.0.zip && unzip -o /tmp/shellcheck.zip -d /tmp && cp /tmp/shellcheck-v0.11.0.exe /usr/bin/shellcheck.exe
774
+ ```
775
+
776
+ ---
777
+
778
+ ## Post-Installation Configuration
779
+
780
+ ShellCheck works out of the box for most use cases. No additional configuration is typically required. The following optional configurations may be useful:
781
+
782
+ ### Configuring Default Options
783
+
784
+ Create a `.shellcheckrc` file in your home directory or project root to set default options:
785
+
786
+ ```bash
787
+ cat > ~/.shellcheckrc << 'EOF'
788
+ # Enable all optional checks
789
+ enable=all
790
+
791
+ # Exclude specific checks if needed
792
+ # disable=SC2034,SC2154
793
+
794
+ # Specify shell dialect (sh, bash, dash, ksh)
795
+ shell=bash
796
+
797
+ # Set source path for sourced files
798
+ # source-path=SCRIPTDIR
799
+ EOF
800
+ ```
801
+
802
+ ### Editor Integration
803
+
804
+ **VS Code**: Install the ShellCheck extension from the VS Code marketplace. The extension includes bundled binaries but will use your system ShellCheck if installed:
805
+
806
+ ```bash
807
+ code --install-extension timonwong.shellcheck
808
+ ```
809
+
810
+ **Vim/Neovim**: Add ShellCheck to ALE or Syntastic for real-time linting.
811
+
812
+ **Sublime Text**: Install the SublimeLinter-shellcheck package via Package Control.
813
+
814
+ ### CI/CD Integration
815
+
816
+ Add ShellCheck to your CI/CD pipeline. Example for GitHub Actions:
817
+
818
+ ```yaml
819
+ - name: Run ShellCheck
820
+ run: |
821
+ find . -name "*.sh" -type f | xargs shellcheck
822
+ ```
823
+
824
+ Example for GitLab CI:
825
+
826
+ ```yaml
827
+ shellcheck:
828
+ image: koalaman/shellcheck-alpine:stable
829
+ script:
830
+ - find . -name "*.sh" -type f | xargs shellcheck
831
+ ```
832
+
833
+ ### Shell Aliases
834
+
835
+ Create convenient aliases for common ShellCheck operations. Add to your shell configuration file (`~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, or `~/.bash_profile`):
836
+
837
+ ```bash
838
+ # Check all shell scripts in current directory
839
+ alias scall='find . -name "*.sh" -type f | xargs shellcheck'
840
+
841
+ # Check with severity filter (only errors and warnings)
842
+ alias scerr='shellcheck -S error'
843
+ alias scwarn='shellcheck -S warning'
844
+
845
+ # Output in different formats
846
+ alias scjson='shellcheck -f json'
847
+ alias scgcc='shellcheck -f gcc'
848
+ ```
849
+
850
+ ### Test Your Installation
851
+
852
+ Verify ShellCheck can analyze scripts correctly:
853
+
854
+ ```bash
855
+ echo '#!/bin/bash
856
+ for f in $(ls *.txt); do
857
+ echo $f
858
+ done' | shellcheck -
859
+ ```
860
+
861
+ Expected output showing multiple warnings:
862
+
863
+ ```
864
+ In - line 2:
865
+ for f in $(ls *.txt); do
866
+ ^---------^ SC2045 (warning): Iterating over ls output is fragile. Use globs.
867
+ ^---^ SC2035 (info): Use ./*glob* or -- *glob* so names with dashes won't become options.
868
+
869
+ In - line 3:
870
+ echo $f
871
+ ^-- SC2086 (info): Double quote to prevent globbing and word splitting.
872
+
873
+ Did you mean:
874
+ echo "$f"
875
+ ```
876
+
877
+ ---
878
+
879
+ ## Common Issues
880
+
881
+ ### Issue: "SC2086: Double quote to prevent globbing and word splitting"
882
+
883
+ **Symptoms**: ShellCheck warns about unquoted variables.
884
+
885
+ **Solution**: Quote your variables to prevent word splitting and globbing:
886
+
887
+ ```bash
888
+ # Before
889
+ echo $variable
890
+
891
+ # After
892
+ echo "$variable"
893
+ ```
894
+
895
+ To disable this check for a specific line:
896
+
897
+ ```bash
898
+ # shellcheck disable=SC2086
899
+ echo $variable
900
+ ```
901
+
902
+ ### Issue: "SC2034: Variable appears unused"
903
+
904
+ **Symptoms**: ShellCheck warns about variables that are actually used in sourced scripts.
905
+
906
+ **Solution**: Export the variable or disable the check:
907
+
908
+ ```bash
909
+ # Option 1: Export the variable
910
+ export MY_VAR="value"
911
+
912
+ # Option 2: Disable check for this variable
913
+ # shellcheck disable=SC2034
914
+ MY_VAR="value"
915
+ ```
916
+
917
+ ### Issue: Checking scripts that source other files
918
+
919
+ **Symptoms**: ShellCheck cannot find sourced files and reports errors.
920
+
921
+ **Solution**: Use the `source-path` directive or the `-P` option:
922
+
923
+ ```bash
924
+ # In .shellcheckrc
925
+ source-path=SCRIPTDIR
926
+
927
+ # Or on command line
928
+ shellcheck -P SCRIPTDIR script.sh
929
+ ```
930
+
931
+ ### Issue: Different shell dialect than expected
932
+
933
+ **Symptoms**: ShellCheck assumes wrong shell and reports incorrect warnings.
934
+
935
+ **Solution**: Add a shebang to your script or use the `-s` flag:
936
+
937
+ ```bash
938
+ #!/bin/bash
939
+ # Script content here
940
+
941
+ # Or specify on command line
942
+ shellcheck -s bash script.sh
943
+ ```
944
+
945
+ ### Issue: Checking files without .sh extension
946
+
947
+ **Symptoms**: ShellCheck does not recognize files without standard extensions.
948
+
949
+ **Solution**: Pipe the file content to ShellCheck or use the shebang:
950
+
951
+ ```bash
952
+ # Pipe content
953
+ shellcheck < myscript
954
+
955
+ # Or add shebang to file
956
+ #!/bin/bash
957
+ ```
958
+
959
+ ### Issue: Too many warnings to fix at once
960
+
961
+ **Symptoms**: Existing codebase has many warnings and fixing all at once is overwhelming.
962
+
963
+ **Solution**: Filter by severity and fix incrementally:
964
+
965
+ ```bash
966
+ # Show only errors (most critical)
967
+ shellcheck -S error script.sh
968
+
969
+ # Show errors and warnings
970
+ shellcheck -S warning script.sh
971
+
972
+ # Exclude specific rules while fixing others
973
+ shellcheck --exclude=SC2086,SC2034 script.sh
974
+ ```
975
+
976
+ ### Issue: Using Docker instead of local installation
977
+
978
+ **Symptoms**: Cannot install ShellCheck locally or need consistent version across team.
979
+
980
+ **Solution**: Use the official Docker image:
981
+
982
+ ```bash
983
+ docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/mnt" koalaman/shellcheck:stable myscript.sh
984
+ ```
985
+
986
+ For specific version:
987
+
988
+ ```bash
989
+ docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/mnt" koalaman/shellcheck:v0.11.0 myscript.sh
990
+ ```
