Supported File Types

BashSupport Pro assigns the following file extensions and file names to the plugin.

Detection of script happens in this order:

1. Does it contain a ShellCheck source= directive? If it does, then this is used as the file type.
2. Does it contain a shebang line? If it does, then the command name is used to define the file type.
3. Does it have a file extension? If it does, then .sh is for POSIX and .bash is for Bash.
4. No directive, no shebang and no extension? In this case a warning is displayed, along with a quickfix to insert a source directive.

• *.bash
• *.zsh
