bashd is a Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation for Bash, built using the Go sh package and featuring ShellCheck integration for real-time linting.

Features

Diagnostics

• Check if sourced file exists
• Parser errors
• ShellCheck lints
• For document on document change
• For workspace on initialize

Hover

• Show help output as docs for keywords and builtins
• Show man page as docs for executables
• Show location of assignment for variables
• Show location and body for functions

Definition

• Variable assignment in document and sourced files
• Function declaration in document and sourced files
• Sourced file itself

References

• Function calls in current document and sourced files
• Variable usage in current document and sourced files
• Function calls in workspace file which source the current file
• Variable usage in workspace file which source the current file
• Depending on ReferenceContext.includeDeclaration function declarations and variable assignments

Rename

• Function declarations and calls in document and sourced files
• Variable assignments and usage in document and sourced files
• Function declarations and calls in workspace file which source the current file
• Variable assignments and usage in workspace file which source the current file

Completion

• Variables declared in document (on $ and {)
• Functions declared in document
• Environment variables (on $ and {)
• Keywords
• Executables in PATH
• Resolve with help output as docs for keywords and builtins
• Resolve with man page as docs for executables

Document Symbols

• Variable assignment in document
• Function declaration in document

Workspace Symbols

• Variable assignment in workspace .sh files and scripts without extension but shebang
• Function declaration in workspace .sh files and scripts without extension but shebang

Formatting

• Entire file
• Range formatting (as long as range covers nodes that can be formatted)

Code Actions

• Fix for shellcheck lints (position dependent)
• Add ignore comment for shellcheck lints (position dependent)
• Fix all auto-fixable lints (only when there are fixable lints)
• Add shebang if not exist
• Minify script

Inlay Hint

• SGR ANSI escapes

Document Colors

• 256-color (8-bit) foreground (\x1b[38;5;<n>m) and background (\x1b[48;5;<n>m)
• True color (24-bit) foreground(\x1b[38;2;<r>;<g>;<b>m) and background (\x1b[48;2;<r>;<g>;<b>m)
• 3-bit / 4-bit color foreground (\x1b[<n>m; n ∈ [30,37] ∪ [90,97]) and background (\x1b[<n>m; n ∈ [40,47] ∪ [100,107])
• Also alternative escapes \e and \033

Installation

If you have Go installed (v1.17+), you can install bashd directly with:

go install github.com/matkrin/bashd/cmd/bashd@latest

This will download, build, and install the binary to $HOME/go/bin, make sure it is is in your system’s PATH:

export PATH="${HOME}/go/bin:${PATH}"

Additionally, precompiled binaries are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows in the releases section.

Setup

Neovim

With Neovim version 0.11+, you can use bashd without plugins:

vim.lsp.config.bashd = {
    cmd = { "bashd" },
    filetypes = { "bash", "sh" },
    root_markers = { ".git" },
}

vim.lsp.enable("bashd")

With lspconfig:

local lspconfig = require("lspconfig")
local configs = require("lspconfig.configs")

configs.bashd = {
    default_config = {
        name = "bashd",
        cmd = { "bashd" },
        filetypes = { "bash", "sh" },
        root_dir = lspconfig.util.root_pattern(".git"),
    },
}

lspconfig.bashd.setup({})

Helix

In languages.toml:

[language-server.bashd]
command = "bashd"
roots = [".git"]

[[language]]
name = "bash"
language-servers = [{ name = "bashd" }]
