title: Bash description: "Configure Bash language support in Zed, including language servers, formatting, and debugging."
Bash
Bash support is available natively in Zed.
- Tree-sitter: tree-sitter/tree-sitter-bash
- Language Server: bash-lsp/bash-language-server
Configuration
It is highly recommended to install shellcheck, as bash-language-server depends on it to provide diagnostics.
Install shellcheck:
brew install shellcheck # macOS (HomeBrew)
apt-get install shellcheck # Ubuntu/Debian
pacman -S shellcheck # ArchLinux
dnf install shellcheck # Fedora
yum install shellcheck # CentOS/RHEL
zypper install shellcheck # openSUSE
choco install shellcheck # Windows (Chocolatey)
And verify it is available from your path:
which shellcheck
shellcheck --version
If you wish to customize the warnings/errors reported you just need to create a .shellcheckrc file. You can do this in the root of your project or in your home directory (~/.shellcheckrc). See: shellcheck documentation for more.
