sh
A Go library and toolset for parsing, formatting, and interpreting POSIX Shell, Bash, and Zsh scripts.
What is sh?
sh is a Go library and toolset for parsing, formatting, and interpreting shell scripts. It provides a robust parser that supports POSIX Shell, Bash, Zsh, and mksh, enabling developers to analyze and manipulate shell code programmatically. The project includes `shfmt`, a widely used formatter that ensures consistent code style, and an interpreter for running scripts within Go applications.
Developers and DevOps engineers who work extensively with shell scripts and need tools for static analysis, automated formatting, or embedding shell interpretation in Go applications. It's particularly useful for teams maintaining large codebases of shell scripts.
It offers a comprehensive, pure-Go solution for shell script processing, combining parsing, formatting, and interpretation in a single library. Unlike ad-hoc scripting or basic linters, it provides a structured AST and reliable formatting with multi-shell support, making shell code more maintainable and less error-prone.
