 ShellCheck has detected that one of the patterns in a `case` statement will never match. 
 
-Often, this is due to mistaes in the case statement word that results in unintended literal characters. In the problematic code, there's a trailing space that will prevent the match from ever happening.

 For more examples of when this could happen, see [SC2193](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/SC2193) for the equivalent warning for `[[ .. ]]` statements.
