Bash IDE

VS Marketplace installs VS Marketplace downloads Open VSX downloads

Visual Studio Code extension utilizing the Bash Language Server and integrates with explainshell and shellcheck.

We strongly recommend that you install shellcheck to enable linting: https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck#installing

Features

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

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).
