I'd like to install a certain bash script called 42FileChecker using the commands:

git clone https://github.com/jgigault/42FileChecker ~/42FileChecker &&
    cd ~/42FileChecker &&
    bash ./42FileChecker.sh

But I don't know if 42FileChecker.sh will do any strange things on my PC because I'm a beginner and don't know what is happening in that script. Is there a way to run it in a dummy terminal or dummy root folder or something like that to see what happens so that I avoid something crazy like formatting of my drives. I'd like to know of any way to test shells for future shell scripts also, even if 42FileChecker.sh is safe.

scripts testing safely
