  Description     : Shell script formatter

shfmt is a code formatter for POSIX shell scripts, including support for
Bash and mksh extensions.

shfmt would be a good candidate for packaging due to its popularity (>3k
stars on GitHub) and being actively maintained for more than 4 years.
Debian currently includes code formatters for many languages (e.g.
astyle, bcpp, clang-tidy, indent, uncrustify), but none for shell
scripts.  shfmt is the only such code formatter I am aware of (other
than an unmaintained awk script[1]).

Thanks for considering,
Kevin
