Bash IDE

Visual Studio Code extension utilizing the Bash Language Server and integrating with explainshell, shellcheck and shfmt.

We recommend that you install shellcheck to enable linting and install shfmt to enable formatting.

Configuration

To get documentation for flags on hover (thanks to explainshell), run a explainshell server and update your VS Code settings:

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

For security reasons, it defaults to "", which disables explainshell integration. When set, this extension will send requests to the endpoint and displays documentation for flags. We recommend using a local Docker image (see https://github.com/bash-lsp/bash-language-server/issues/180).
