# shfmt
> Shell parser, formatter, and interpreter.
> More information: <https://pkg.go.dev/mvdan.cc/sh>.
- Print a formatted version of a shell script:
`shfmt {{path/to/file}}`
- List unformatted files:
`shfmt --list {{path/to/directory}}`
- Write the result to the file instead of printing it to the terminal:
`shfmt --write {{path/to/file}}`
- Simplify the code, removing redundant pieces of syntax (i.e. removing "$" from vars in expressions):
`shfmt --simplify {{path/to/file}}`
