## Remove spaces around += to assign (or quote '+=' if literal).
### Problematic code:
```sh
var += "my text"
```
### Correct code:
```sh
var+="my text"
```
### Rationale:
ShellCheck found an unquoted `+=` after a word. To append text to a variable, remove spaces around `+=` as in the example.
### Exceptions:
If the `+=` was supposed to be literal, you can quote it to make ShellCheck ignore it:
grep '+=' files..
