Use [ x = y ] to compare values (or quote '==' if literal).
Problematic code:
if $var == value
then
echo "Match"
fiCorrect code:
if [ "$var" = value ]
then
echo "Match"
fiRationale:
ShellCheck found an unquoted == after a word.
This was most likely supposed to be a comparison, so use square brackets as in the correct code.
Exceptions:
If the == was supposed to be literal, you can quote it to make ShellCheck ignore it:
grep '===' file.js
