base on A shell parser, formatter, and interpreter with bash support; includes shfmt # sh
[![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/mvdan.cc/sh/v3.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/mvdan.cc/sh/v3)
A shell parser, formatter, and interpreter. Supports [POSIX Shell], [Bash], and
[mksh]. Requires Go 1.22 or later.
### Quick start
To parse shell scripts, inspect them, and print them out, see the [syntax
examples](https://pkg.go.dev/mvdan.cc/sh/v3/syntax#pkg-examples).
For high-level operations like performing shell expansions on strings, see the
[shell examples](https://pkg.go.dev/mvdan.cc/sh/v3/shell#pkg-examples).
### shfmt
go install mvdan.cc/sh/v3/cmd/shfmt@latest
`shfmt` formats shell programs. See [canonical.sh](syntax/canonical.sh) for a
quick look at its default style. For example:
shfmt -l -w script.sh
For more information, see [its manpage](cmd/shfmt/shfmt.1.scd), which can be
viewed directly as Markdown or rendered with [scdoc].
Packages are available on [Alpine], [Arch], [Debian], [Docker], [Fedora], [FreeBSD],
[Homebrew], [MacPorts], [NixOS], [OpenSUSE], [Scoop], [Snapcraft], [Void] and [webi].
### gosh
go install mvdan.cc/sh/v3/cmd/gosh@latest
Proof of concept shell that uses `interp`. Note that it's not meant to replace a
POSIX shell at the moment, and its options are intentionally minimalistic.
### Fuzzing
We use Go's native fuzzing support. For instance:
cd syntax
go test -run=- -fuzz=ParsePrint
### Caveats
* When indexing Bash associative arrays, always use quotes. The static parser
will otherwise have to assume that the index is an arithmetic expression.
```sh
$ echo '${array[spaced string]}' | shfmt
1:16: not a valid arithmetic operator: string
$ echo '${array[dash-string]}' | shfmt
${array[dash - string]}
```
* `$((` and `((` ambiguity is not supported. Backtracking would complicate the
parser and make streaming support via `io.Reader` impossible. The POSIX spec
recommends to [space the operands][posix-ambiguity] if `$( (` is meant.
```sh
$ echo '$((foo); (bar))' | shfmt
1:1: reached ) without matching $(( with ))
```
* `export`, `let`, and `declare` are parsed as keywords.
This allows statically building their syntax tree,
as opposed to keeping the arguments as a slice of words.
It is also required to support `declare foo=(bar)`.
Note that this means expansions like `declare {a,b}=c` are not supported.
### JavaScript
A subset of the Go packages are available as an npm package called [mvdan-sh].
See the [_js](_js) directory for more information.
### Docker
All release tags are published via [Docker], such as `v3.5.1`.
The latest stable release is currently published as `v3`,
and the latest development version as `latest`.
The images only include `shfmt`; `-alpine` variants exist on Alpine Linux.
To build a Docker image, run:
docker build -t my:tag -f cmd/shfmt/Dockerfile .
To use a Docker image, run:
docker run --rm -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" -v "$PWD:/mnt" -w /mnt my:tag <shfmt arguments>
