Pattern: Leading whitespace before the shebang

Issue: -

Description

The script has leading spaces before the shebang (#!). This is not allowed.

The #! should be the first two bytes in the file, as they're used as a file signature by the OS to determine whether a file is a script.

Example of incorrect code:

  #!/bin/sh
echo "Hello world"

Example of correct code:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Hello World"
