shellcheck: Enable one or more optional checks.
$ shellcheck --enable=${select}
try on your machine

The command "shellcheck --enable=${select}" runs the shellcheck tool with a specific option called "enable" and a value represented by the variable "${select}".

Shellcheck is a static analysis tool used to analyze shell scripts and provide suggestions for correct coding practices. It helps identify potential issues and improve the quality of shell scripts.

The "--enable" option in this command allows enabling specific shellcheck checks or groups of checks. "${select}" is a placeholder representing a variable that holds the name of the specific check or group of checks to enable.

By specifying "--enable=${select}", you can dynamically choose which checks or groups of checks to enable, based on the value stored in the variable "${select}".
