# Fixes found by kibble
# Fixes found while testing kibble

This page lists merged fixes for documented commands that failed when kibble ran them, in repositories kibble had never run on before. Each failure was replayed in a clean container, and each fix was filed by kibble's author after reading the project's contributing rules. Most fixes change the documentation. Two change the code so the documented command works. Open reports join the list when they merge.

- Command as written: `path/to/pyenv --install <shell executable name>`
- In a clean container: exit 1, ``pyenv: no such command `--install'``
- Fix: Changes the three lines to `pyenv init --install`, the form the neighboring lines already use.

- Command as written: `exec foo; echo "Done!"` and `cat file | grep foo`, each listed as a line ShellCheck warns on
- In a clean container: no warning on either line at default settings, on 0.11.0 and at the tested commit
- Fix: Changes the `exec` example to `exec foo; bar`, which draws the warning, and marks the `cat` example as an optional check.
