  • Google ZX – A tool for writing better scripts
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 9 Feb 2024
    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.

  • How I use Nix in my Elm projects
    8 projects | dev.to | 19 Dec 2023
    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:

    The error checks can be pretty arcane:

    zsh was originally supported, but unceremoniously removed: https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/issues/298

    I've had great experiences with this tool, but, for some reason, this issue always makes me question taking too great a dependency on it.

  • Is there a syntax checker?
    2 projects | /r/groff | 24 Oct 2023
    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.

    I forgot to mention "shellcheck" at https://www.shellcheck.net/ and the explanation of its error codes at https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/

    This is also referenced by Shotts, and has been discussed on Hacker News -- not to be missed.

    shellcheck, whilst not a script itself, I do find it useful when writing them.

    However, I'm a huge fan of static tools like this in general. I've heard great things about https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/jfmengels/elm-review/latest/ and I need to try out https://github.com/kowainik/stan. Also its possible HLint has ways to write more advanced rules and I just don't know about them, but even if that's so hopefully I've explained why just dropping it in isn't a huge win.
