ShellCheck
==========

[](#shellcheck)

[Vidar Holen's ShellCheck is an invaluable tool for troubleshooting shell scripts](https://www.shellcheck.net), and this package makes it easy to import into the testing pipeline of your PHP-based project!

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

This package contains a `bin/shellcheck` script that serves as a proxy to the system-installed copy of ShellCheck; if the ShellCheck binary is found, arguments pass through to it normally. If ShellCheck is **not** found locally, users are presented with the following notice:

> ShellCheck was not found in your $PATH! Please visit  for installation instructions.

Normally, this would result in a non-zero exit code (2), though this behavior may be suppressed with the `--ignore-missing` option:

```
$ vendor/bin/shellcheck --ignore-missing some-script.sh

ShellCheck was not found in your $PATH!
Please visit https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck#installing for installation instructions.

$ echo $?
0

```

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The easiest way to install this package is via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
$ composer require --dev assertwell/shellcheck
```

You may wish to add a [Composer script](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/scripts.md) to make it easier for team members to run ShellCheck:

```
# composer.json
{
    // ...
    "scripts": {
        "test:shellcheck": [
            "shellcheck bin/*"
        ]
    },
    "scripts-descriptions": [
        "test:shellcheck": "Lint shell scripts via ShellCheck"
    ]
}
```

As for the installation of ShellCheck itself, please [see the instructions most-relevant to your environment in the ShellCheck documentation](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck#installing).
