About Shell files
Shell scripts (.sh, .bash, .zsh) automate commands on Linux and macOS.
Open Online shows them with highlighting so you can read what a script does before running it yourself.
What you can do here
- Line numbers and syntax highlighting
- Search and replace
- Toggle word wrap
- Edit the text and save a copy
- See encoding, line endings, line and word counts
Limitations
- Very large files (over 50 MB) open read-only to keep the browser responsive.
Privacy
The file is read by your browser and stays on your device. Open Online has no server that could receive it, and nothing is stored once you close the tab. Privacy policy
Common questions
Is it safe to inspect a script here?
Yes. Nothing is executed; the script is shown as text.
