    And finally, checkbashisms if you intend on making pure posix scripts that are compatible with debian/ubuntu's dash. It is part of the debian's devscripts suite, but is often individually packaged in other distros.

    Or you could learn from a guide written by people who have suffered decades of experience of the pitfalls of shell scripting and have shared their woes.

    For the first two caveats, I actually agree that we could and should handle ambiguous input. It just hasn't been a priority because doing that properly would be quite a bit of work, and such ambiguous syntax isn't particularly common. See https://github.com/mvdan/sh/issues/686 for my current thoughts on how to tackle it.

    The third caveat concerns parsing `export` and `let` as keywords rather than as builtins. Like the README says, this is to properly build the syntax without leaving opaque strings as expressions, but also to support `declare foo=(bar)` which wouldn't work if `declare` was treated like any other builtin simple command.

    How else would you have a static parser handle these two builtins? They are in a bit of an awkward middle ground between builtin and keyword. My instinct is that giving them special treatment in the parser to allow tokens like `(`, while at the same time representing them in the syntax tree with opaque strings as expressions, would be pretty underwhelming to any users of the parser.

    That said, we already have that problem with `let "foo=123"` for example, where our parser currently represents the expression as the quoted string without going any deeper. https://github.com/mvdan/sh/issues/754#issuecomment-96329574... considers doing a second parse stage in the shell interpreter to fix cases like these, though always doing a second parse could get expensive.

    We _could_ leave all arithmetic expressions as input strings in the parser, and do all the actual parsing when they are evaluated. That would be more compatible with Bash and more consistent. But it would also be less useful to any parser users who don't run into any of these weird edge cases, which aren't common at all, I think.

    In short, I have some ideas, but I'm not sure at all what's best :) Doing a good job for 99% of users feels better than aiming for 100% compatibility with bash syntax, particularly where bash syntax is a bit weird.

    My bad, I completely screwed this up... the as of yet undiscussed project is:

    https://github.com/mvdan/sh

    (not shmfmt)

    I support projects like this for purposes of exploration and practice. But don't expect people to use it when there are already well established projects out there like: https://github.com/mvdan/sh
  • similar to shellcheck?

    There are also: - shfmt - sh - bash language server - bashate
  • Code formatter, linters, etc. Recommendations?

    There is shellcheck, and shellharden which is a strict version of it. There are similar stuff here, some that also help with your editor. You can also use a docker version of shfmt. See here for a quick tutorial on shfmt.

    Now go ahead and install shellcheck and shfmt to get even better at it.
