ShellCheck, a static analysis tool for shell scripts

[Xentrk]

I came across this site today when trying to debug a shell script that I use on my router. It told me the issue right away and was very helpful. I book marked it.

I just pasted the current AB main script code.
Apparently, nearly 5000 lines of code is too much for it...

Would be interesting to know what the weapon of choice is among users for editing shell scripts ( Apologies for the thread hijack @Xentrk ) ... I run a Mac so some editors aren't available to me, but i have EditRocket ( some nice shell script features) and UltraEdit ( learned C+, Java, and Unrealscript on this in my youth...so fond memories), but i tend to use BBEdit the most these days because its so good at checking syntax as you code

Nano. In fact, the majority of my development is done with it.

Since I prefer Microsoft's world, Notepad++, I'm just so used to it.

nano is so far the best tool for scripting imho, but ive been using also gitlab lately since it has a nice setup for scripting with autocomplete.

I use Notepad++ when I've download a script to my PC and the MobatextEditor built into MobaXterm personal Edition when editing in SFTP session. I really like the features of MobaXterm and there are a lot of options I have not tried yet. I like the way Notepad++ has the shadow lines connecting the brackets. I use the vi editor on rare occasions. I need to try Nano one of these days.

For me - VIM on the shell... oddly enough.. and I won't slight anyone using nano as it's quite good..

These days, I like VS Code and Atom these days - they're lightweight and very much x-platform for Win/Mac...
