    > "Use shellcheck."

    (Disclaimer: I'm one of the authors)

    After falling in love with ShellCheck several years ago, with the help of another person, I made the ShellCheck REPL tool for Bash:

    Thank you, and thanks for the suggestion. Yes, it should be possible to keep the SC2154 check. I probably just disabled it as a quick fix when first started out. I'm tracking this in https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/shellcheck-repl/issues/15.

    > You'd also want to take into account special variables like $RANDOM and $HOSTNAME, but that's pretty trivial.

    It seems like ShellCheck is already aware of these special Bash variable, e.g. 'echo $RANDOM' will not trigger SC2154 (or even SC2086 that otherwise asks you to quote variables).

    shellcheck-repl: Validation of Shell Commands Before Evaluation

    https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/shellcheck-repl

    This tool validates your commands at the Bash prompt using ShellCheck and refuses to evaluate them if there's a mistake. It ignores a set of rules that doesn't play well with oneliners.
