i didnt care about how i wrote my bash scripts, coz i know theyd ultimately be used just by myself. but for the past few day, i’ve been working on this project, mk-blog which uses some bash scripts, there are chances that others might look at them. besides in work they’re asking me maintain a server. so why not learn the standards. but i couldn’t find anything good online (i’m gonna blame my search engine lol). so…

i’d appreciate redirections to (official or community) bash coding standards

    ShellCheck is a static analysis tool for bash/sh scripts - try it on your scripts. The README also shows some examples of what (not) to do.

    The link to your project gives me a 404 btw, is it a private repository?

      I can’t recommend shellcheck enough, there are even plugins (for vscode and intellij at least) which give you syntax highlighting in your IDE
