What methods can I use to monitor dependencies in the Bash scripts I create?

edit

Manual inspection: Reviewing the code base for import statements, and inspecting each imported module can provide a first-line approach for identifying dependencies.

Static analysis tools: There are several tools available like shellcheck, which can analyze Bash scripts for common problems and provide suggestions for improvements.

Build tools: Using build tools like make or Apache Ant can help identify dependencies and track them as they change over time.

Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines: Build automation with CI/CD tools like Jenkins, Travis CI or GitLab Pipelines can help automate the build process and automatically detect problems with dependencies.

Dependency management tools: Using package management tools like apt, yum, brew, or pip can help identify, install, and manage dependencies the Bash script requires.

Application performance monitoring (APM): APM tools can help organizations track the performance of their applications, monitoring application dependencies, and how they impact the overall runtime environment.

Manual testing: By testing each Bash script and all the dependant modules, the developer can observe any issues and assure that the Bash script is running successfully.
