Description

Checks shell scripts for bash-specific syntax that may break when the script is meant to run with a POSIX shell. It is commonly used by Debian packaging and portability workflows.

Use it when scripts declare `/bin/sh` or need to run on systems where Bash is not guaranteed. A warning should be reviewed in context because some scripts intentionally require Bash.
