bash-code-quality

What problem does it solve?

Defensive coding standards for Bash scripts authored as deliverables — files that are committed to the repository, installed on user machines, or executed in CI/CD environments — are defined to reduce runtime errors, security vulnerabilities, and maintenance burden.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Enforce strict mode at script start to catch errors early and stop on failures.
• Enforce safe quoting and variable handling to prevent word-splitting and globbing issues.
• Ensure robust function scoping, trap-based cleanup, and structured logging for maintainable scripts.
• Use as a reference during authoring, code reviews, and on-boarding to raise baseline quality across projects.

Quick Start

Run the Bash Code Quality guidelines on your project to apply strict-mode, safe quoting, and robust error handling to all Bash scripts.
