One of my favorite things about Shellcheck is that the error messages come with a link to a wiki page about the problem. Does anyone know other programs that have a similar approach to error messages?
It was a while ago and seemed a bit gimmicky, but i really enjoyed the ability to see what could be done about an error by opening a web page (without having to manually dig through StackOverflow or other sites).
Now, if we'd get a development framework that'd couple documentation like that, with user generated comments (like PHP has, for example see the bottom of https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strcmp.php ), then i think the developer experience would improve a bunch!
Who knows, maybe even allow users to contribute possible fixes and allow those as autocomplete solutions and you've just improved on what tools like Codota do a whole bunch!
Each rule has its own url. Tool therefore easily gives you a link.
I agree that it’s really handy, especially when implementing the check in a CI pipeline with lots of developers.
