multishellcheck

This script is a wrapper for ShellCheck to work around its lack of support for multi-file scripts.

It works by:

1. reading the supplied shell script (and, recursively, the shell scripts it sources);
2. placing the result into a single temporary file;
3. invoking shellcheck on that file;
4. reading shellcheck's output;
5. substituting the file names and line numbers in shellcheck's output with the real file names and line numbers;
6. printing the thus edited results.

Usage

$ multishellcheck MAIN-FILE-NAME [SHELLCHECK-OPTIONS...]

If you wish to get colour output, you can enable it with the -Calways ShellCheck option.

In Action

multishellcheck is used as part of automatic CI for aconfmgr, a configuration manager for Arch Linux written 100% in Bash.
