API

This package exports no identifiers. It exports no additional TypeScript types. The default export is remarkLintNoShellDollars.

unified().use(remarkLintNoShellDollars)

Warn when every line in shell code is preceded by $s.

Parameters

There are no options.

Returns

Transform (Transformer from unified).

Recommendation

Dollars make copy/pasting hard. Either put dollars in front of some lines (commands) and don’t put them in front of other lines (output), or use different code blocks for commands and output.

Examples

ok.md

In

```bash
echo "Mercury and Venus"
```

```sh
echo "Mercury and Venus"
echo "Earth and Mars" > file
```

Mixed dollars for input lines and without for output is also OK:

```zsh
$ echo "Mercury and Venus"
Mercury and Venus
$ echo "Earth and Mars" > file
```

```command
```

```js
$('div').remove()
```

Out

No messages.

not-ok.md

In

```sh
$ echo "Mercury and Venus"
```

```bash
$ echo "Mercury and Venus"
$ echo "Earth and Mars" > file
```

Out

1:1-3:4: Unexpected shell code with every line prefixed by `$`, expected different code for input and output
5:1-8:4: Unexpected shell code with every line prefixed by `$`, expected different code for input and output

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, remark-lint-no-shell-dollars@4, compatible with Node.js 16.
