Increasingly, we are trying to use pipelines for checking our code and scripts. It appears that `shellcheck` is available in the NCI pipeline (gitlab-ci.yml) and it would be great to be able to access this on the commandline before commiting code to a repository.

Can we add this to the hh5 environment? Is this an appropriate location?

Griff.

Hey Griff,

It’s a good idea, and yeah that seems a decent place for it.

I you do want them to add it to the `hh5` conda environment best to make an issue

It appears shellcheck is available for major distros, including Rocky Linux which is used at NCI. So you could email help@nci.org.au and request they install it.

Cheers
