ShellCheck can be used from the command line, as part of a build or, even better, as an extension in many popular IDEs. The wiki contains a detailed description of several hundred issues that ShellCheck can detect, and most tools and IDEs provide a way to conveniently access the respective wiki page when an issue is found.
