Bash IDE

Bash language server. Uses Tree Sitter and its grammar for Bash with explainshell integration.

System Requirements

You need to install that language server separately as it depends on native node modules.

npm i -g bash-language-server

Features

  • [x] Jump to declaration
  • [x] Find references
  • [x] Code Outline & Show Symbols
  • [x] Highlight occurrences
  • [x] Code completion
  • [x] Simple diagnostics reporting
  • [x] Documentation for flags on hover
  • [ ] Rename symbol

Configuration

To get documentation for flags on hover (thanks to explainshell), run the explainshell Docker container:

docker run --rm --name bash-explainshell -p 5000:5000 chrismwendt/codeintel-bash-with-explainshell

And add this to your VS Code settings:

    "bashIde.explainshellEndpoint": "http://localhost:5000",

It defaults to "", which disables explainshell integration. When set, this extension will send requests to the endpoint and displays documentation for flags.

Once https://github.com/idank/explainshell/pull/125 is merged in, you'll be able to set this to "https://explainshell.com".
