+# install-shellspec
+
+Installs [shellspec](https://github.com/shellspec/shellspec), a BDD-style
+testing framework for shell scripts.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+scripts/install-shellspec.sh
+```
+
+The script resolves the latest release tag via `x-gh-get-latest-version`,
+clones shellspec to `~/.cache/shellspec` pinned to that tag, and runs
+`make install PREFIX=$HOME/.local`, placing the binary in `~/.local/bin/`.
+Re-running the script fetches and checks out the newest release tag
+before reinstalling.
