+# Support for Shellcheck configuration file - July, 2026
+
+We’ve upgraded how Shellcheck works on Codacy! While you previously had to configure Shellcheck analysis directly through the Codacy UI, you can now manage your settings using a configuration file.
+
+Codacy will automatically apply your rules during analysis once you set it up.
+Here is how to get started:
+
+-  Add a .shellcheckrc file to your repository.
+-  Navigate to Repository > Code Patterns > Shellcheck.
+-  Enable "Use Shellcheck configuration file found in the repository".
+
+
+![Enable Shellcheck configuration file](../images/shellcheck-configuration-file.png)
+
+
+If you have any questions or need help, please contact <mailto:support@codacy.com>.
