SC2296

(or any other character)

echo "Hello ${{name}"

echo "Hello ${name}"

ShellCheck found a parameter expansion ${something} that starts with an invalid character. In the example, this was caused by accidentally duplicating the { in ${{name}.

Double check the syntax of what you're trying to do.

Some Zsh specific parameter expansions like ${(q)value} trigger this warning, but ShellCheck does not support Zsh.

If this warning triggers in code that works on Bash, Ksh, Dash or Sh, please submit a bug.
