Bash Formatter
Re-indent messy shell scripts with consistent, readable block structure.
Runs 100% in your browser — nothing is ever uploaded.
What is Bash Formatter?
Shell scripts grow organically and the indentation usually suffers, making if/fi and do/done pairs hard to match by eye. This free formatter re-indents your script with a consistent style: it tracks if, for, while, until, case and function blocks and applies clean 2-space, 4-space or tab indentation to each nesting level. The formatting runs entirely in your browser, so proprietary scripts and embedded secrets never leave your machine.

- Fill in the options in the form; sensible defaults are pre-selected.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Bash formatter free to use?
Yes — this Bash formatter is completely free with no signup, no limits, and no watermarks. Use it as often as you like.
Does the formatter change what my script does?
No — it only adjusts leading whitespace on each line. Command text, quoting, line order and logic remain byte-for-byte identical, so the formatted script behaves exactly like the original. Still, reviewing the diff before committing is always good practice.
Is my data private?
Completely. Everything you type stays in your browser — nothing is uploaded to any server, so commands, keys and data never leave your machine.
Do these tools touch my servers?
No. OpsForge tools are pure calculators and generators that run in your browser — they never connect to your infrastructure. You copy the result and apply it yourself.
Is the chmod calculator accurate for all systems?
Yes — octal permission notation is a POSIX standard, so the results apply identically on Linux, macOS and BSD.
Will more DevOps tools be added?
Yes — Dockerfile, docker-compose, nginx and CI config generators are on the roadmap. Everything will stay free and client-side.
