SH File Viewer: Open Shell Scripts Online or in PHP

An SH file is a shell script: plain text holding commands for Bash or a similar shell. Selecting one on a desktop often runs it or offers to run it, which is not what a reader wants when the point is to inspect the contents.

Rendering is the safe alternative. GroupDocs.Viewer Cloud turns the script into HTML, PDF, JPG or PNG, so the lines are read in a browser window with nothing executed and no shell involved.

The rendered result carries page navigation, zoom and thumbnails, which matters for a long deployment script. Password protected files are accepted, and more than 180 formats are supported beside SH, so one integration serves a script and a contract.

PHP applications add the feature with the SDK for PHP and a REST call, while the free online viewer opens a script straight away when only one file has to be read. PDF output suits an audit record and PNG output suits a preview panel.
