Paket: shfmt (3.4.3-1)

shell formatter, parser, and interpreter

shfmt is a shell formatter, parser, and interpreter. It supports POSIX Shell, Bash, and mksh.

shfmt's default shell formatting was chosen to be consistent, common, and predictable. Some aspects of the format can be configured.

shfmt can also replace bash -n to check shell scripts for syntax errors and bashisms. It is more sophisticated and the output is friendly.

For Continuous Integration (CI) tests, one can use a variant where formatting changes are just shown as diffs.

Main features:

  - List files whose formatting differs from shfmt's.
  - Print syntax tree to stdout as a typed JSON. This
    can be useful to analyze shell scripts.
  - Minify the code to reduce its size.
  - Error with a diff when the formatting differs.
  - Recursively find all shell files and print the paths.
