[ale] Ksh script style checker or best practices

[Jonathan Meek]

Hello folks,

I have gotten involved in a new placement at work where I am writing ksh
scripts and have fallen in love with it. I never thought I would enjoy this
because ksh scripts were always a bit of reach. I am curious is there some
tool like Python's PEP8 style checker for bash scripts? If not, some place
to find best practices towards style and syntax?

I am just trying to avoid future me being utterly angered at some unknown
idiot and then to find git blame saying it is past me.

I am tentatively scheduled to give my "Seat Belt and Airbags for bash"
presentation at the Red Hat group on Nov 14th.

It is tentative right now, but sign up for the group on meetup and you will
get notified when it is scheduled.

It is not a what you are asking for but I give a laundry list of syntax to
not use.

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, Gmail threw all my ALE mail into
spam and just found this mail. Sorry for not responding sooner.

Hi,
This is kind of a lint for shell scripts with some style suggestions:
https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck

I recently found it from this blog post

Good luck
