run-one VS ShellCheck

borg-backup.sh, which runs my remote borg backups off a cronjob: https://github.com/Freaky/borg-backup.sh

zfsnapr, a ZFS recursive snapshot mounter - I run borg-backup.sh using this to make consistent backups: https://github.com/Freaky/zfsnapr

mkjail, an automatic minimal FreeBSD chroot environment builder: https://github.com/Freaky/mkjail

run-one, a clone of the Ubuntu scripts of the same name, which provides a slightly friendlier alternative to running commands with flock/lockf: https://github.com/Freaky/run-one

ncurse, dialog, zenity[2]. i/o buffering may be an issue [3a,3b]

Assuming using same account, use history command to show past commands[0a, 0b]

'load random example' on shellcheck using own custom examples from history command.[1]

ShellCheck: https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck

If I want to write better shell scripts I usually run shellcheck and adjust accordingly or if I need facilities not provided by the shell i switch to a full fledged programming language. Ans oh yes, `sh` is present almost on every BSD and Linux box for free so I consider it an important thing to at least be comfortable with.

When I run nix-shell at the root of the project it puts me in a Nix shell that contains, among other programs, caddy and shellcheck. Notice that in the shellHook I add the project's shell scripts to the PATH. So once I'm in the Nix shell I can, among other things:

I have also seen some projects on github like ShellCheck which first make a library, expose all the modules and then simple add that do build-depends of the final executable. Is this the recommended approach than having just one executable and adding all the modules to other-modules:?

The error checks can be pretty arcane:

Similar to for instance shellcheck to check the syntax of shell scripts, is there an equivalent for the set of roff commands typically used in a (Linux) man page? I'm aware that e.g. pandoc permits the conversion of an other format (e.g., org) to both roff man and roff ms.
