## echo doesn't read from stdin, are you sure you should be piping to it?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Problematic code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
find . | echo
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Correct code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
find .
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Rationale:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You are piping command output to `echo`, but `echo` ignores all piped input.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In particular, `echo` is not responsible for putting output on screen. Commands already output data, and with no further actions that will end up on screen.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Exceptions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
None.
