Recent Updates

Stable version v0.11.0

8 months ago

This release is dedicated to Satisfactory, even though my giant 3D ball of rat's nest conveyor belt spaghetti is anything but. CHANGELOG v0.11.0 - 2025-08-03 Added SC2327/SC2328: Warn about capturing the output of redirected commands. SC2329: Warn when (non-escaping) functions are never invoked. SC2330: Warn about unsupported glob matches with [[ .. ]] in BusyBox. SC2331: Suggest using standard -e instead of unary -a in tests. SC2332: Warn about [ ! -o opt ] being unconditionally true in Bash. SC3062: Warn about bashism [ -o opt ] . Optional avoid-negated-conditions : suggest replacing [ ! a -eq b ] with [ a -ne b ] , and similar for -ge/-lt/=/!=/etc (SC2335). Precompiled binaries for Linux riscv64 (linux.riscv64) Changed SC2002 about Useless Use Of Cat is now disabled by default. It can be re-enabled with --enable=useless-use-of-cat or equivalent directive. SC2236/SC2237 about replacing [ ! -n .. ] with [ -z ] and vice versa is now optional under avoid-negated-conditions . SC2015 about A && B || C no longer triggers when B is a test command. SC3012: Do not warn about \< and \> in test/[] as specified in POSIX.1-2024 Diff output now uses / as path separator on Windows Fixed SC2218 about function use-before-define is now more accurate. SC2317 about unreachable commands is now less spammy for nested ones. SC2292, optional suggestion for [[ ]], now triggers for Busybox. Updates for Bash 5.3, including ${| cmd; } and source -p Removed SC3013: removed since the operators -ot/-nt/-ef are specified in POSIX.1-2024

Stable version v0.10.0

about 2 years ago

This release is dedicated to LLMs, for finally fulfilling the promise of 1960s scifi: systems you can hack using logic games and creative lies.

Stable version 0.9.0

over 3 years ago

This release is dedicated to Mindustry: the most fun you can have with open source (outside of shell scripting of course).

Stable version 0.8.0

almost 5 years ago

This release is dedicated to dibblego, who pushed me down the Haskell rabbit hole. In 2006 I thought you were crazy. Today I know you are.

Stable version v0.7.2

over 5 years ago

This release is dedicated to ethanol, for keeping COVID-19 off both our hands and our minds.

Stable version v0.7.1

over 6 years ago

This release is dedicated to the board game Pandemic, for teaching us relevant survival skills like how to stay inside and play board games.

Stable version 0.4.7

over 6 years ago

This release is dedicated to net neutrality. Remember when the Internet was a meritocracy? [Please drink a verification can to continue.]

Stable version 0.5.0

over 6 years ago

This release is dedicated to Valve for keeping PC gaming awesome. Also, for that time they proved the need for a tool like ShellCheck.

Stable version 0.6.0

over 6 years ago

This release is dedicated to Factorio. If this is how much fun it is to build factories and oppress natives, then history makes a lot of sense.

Stable version 0.7.0

over 6 years ago

This release is dedicated to RetroArch: the second best way to make your PC feel like a 16bit system (right after building ShellCheck with GHC)
