## Bash style
|
|
|
|
I would like you to stick to certain standards of writing in bash. I realize that it is not easy and time-consuming if you have certain habits. I do not expect 100% compliance and adherence to good practices, however, I would like you to try to use certain principles.

## Shellcheck
|
|
|
|
One of the requirements before approving your changes is to check them with the **shellcheck** utility. If the returned errors are not critical (eg. [SC2154](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/SC2154)) you can use the `shellcheck disable=SC2154` design.

|
## Signature of commit
|
|
|
|
Moving forward all commits to this project must include a "signed-off-by" line indicating the name and email address of the contributor signing off on the change. To enable signatures add the following lines to `.git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg` :
|
|
|
|
``````
|
|
SOB=$(git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT | sed -n 's/^\(.*>\).*$/- signed-off-by: \1/p')
|
|
grep -qs "^$SOB" "$1" || echo "$SOB" >> "$1"
|
|
``````
|
|
