Shell script parser or editor

Question

Is there an editor for shell scripts? Or is there an online parser or something similar to that?

Editor: VI ;-) Seriously, any simply text editor will do. You may want to choose one with some kind of decent syntax highlighting though (again, VI, emacs, etc.)

Parser: If you look for a way to validate your scripts without actually executing them, look into the -n / noexec option.

Any text editor can help in editing shell scripts, U usually use VIM or GEDIT to edit shell scripts. And in a usability perspective, I felt gedit more friendly.

-n / noexec option. can be used to validate shell scripts.

Also adding -v option to the shebang ie: #!/bin/sh -v will help you debug the script easily.
