BashSupport Pro
A powerful Bash plugin for JetBrains IDEs
The Best Toolkit for Bash Developers
Bash is a widely used but complicated language with many oddities. BashSupport Pro can make your Bash development efficient and enjoyable by providing high-quality Bash language support in your JetBrains IDE.
It provides you with all the features that you expect for full language support: a refined editor experience with completions and formatting, powerful run configurations, debugger integration, a test runner and much more. BashSupport Pro integrates the best available utilities for Bash, including bashdb, ShellCheck, bats-core, and shfmt.
We are pretty certain that right now, there is nothing better out there for Bash development than BashSupport Pro.
Features
Smart Editing
The editor provides Bash syntax highlighting and other helpers like code folding and language injections. It offers code completion, covering all variables and functions in the current scope, and code analysis with ShellCheck, providing you with warnings and quick fixes. It also lets you do rename refactorings without breaking your code, and automatic code formatting in Google’s code style (or your own).
Code Navigation
For both variables and functions, including those in sourced files, BashSupport Pro provides a Go to Declaration and a Find Usages feature.
Script Execution
BashSupport Pro lets you execute Bash script files but also file snippets. With snippets, you can keep your script and multiple configurations in one file. All aspects of script execution are defined in run configurations. These also handle automatic path mappings when executing Bash in a Windows environment. You can import and export the run configurations of other Bash plugins.
Debugging and Testing
BashSupport Pro integrates the Bash debugger bashdb into the usual JetBrains debugger interface. This integration comes with conditional breakpoints, variable watch expressions, inlay hints and other goodies. The test framework bats-core is also fully integrated, making it comfortable to define and run your tests.
Team Collaboration
BashSupport Pro is suitable for complex projects that are developed in heterogeneous teams. Linux, macOS and Windows are all supported. You can share run configurations with anyone in the team, including those using a different OS. And in complex projects, defining a set of Bash scripts as a shell script library simplifies how you enable BashSupport Pro code inspection for your code.
