10- Tree-sitter: [tree-sitter/tree-sitter-bash](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-bash)

13## Configuration
14
15When `shellcheck` is available `bash-language-server` will use it internally to provide diagnostics.
16
17### Install `shellcheck`:
18
19```sh
20brew install shellcheck             # macOS (HomeBrew)
21apt-get install shellcheck          # Ubuntu/Debian
22pacman -S shellcheck                # ArchLinux
23dnf install shellcheck              # Fedora
24yum install shellcheck              # CentOS/RHEL
25zypper install shellcheck           # openSUSE
26choco install shellcheck            # Windows (Chocolatey)
27```
28
29And verify it is available from your path:
30
31```sh
32which shellcheck
33shellcheck --version
34```
35
36If 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](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/Ignore#ignoring-one-or-more-types-of-errors-forever) for more.
