# Bash
Bash language support in Zed is provided by the community-maintained [Basher extension](https://github.com/d1y/bash.zed).
Report issues to: [https://github.com/d1y/bash.zed/issues](https://github.com/d1y/bash.zed/issues)
- Tree-sitter: [tree-sitter/tree-sitter-bash](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-bash)
- Language Server: [bash-lsp/bash-language-server](https://github.com/bash-lsp/bash-language-server)
## Configuration
When `shellcheck` is available `bash-language-server` will use it internally to provide diagnostics.
### Install `shellcheck`:
```sh
brew install shellcheck # macOS (HomeBrew)
apt-get install shellcheck # Ubuntu/Debian
pacman -S shellcheck # ArchLinux
dnf install shellcheck # Fedora
yum install shellcheck # CentOS/RHEL
zypper install shellcheck # openSUSE
choco install shellcheck # Windows (Chocolatey)
```
And verify it is available from your path:
```sh
which shellcheck
shellcheck --version
```
If 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.
