Shell Argument Escaper

Turn raw arguments into properly quoted command lines for every common shell — without worrying about spaces, quotes, or special characters.

Arguments

Enter one argument per line. Empty lines are skipped. Special characters like spaces, quotes, dollar signs, and backticks will be escaped automatically.

One arg per line Split on spaces (single line)

Quoting Rules Cheat Sheet

Shell	Strategy
POSIX sh / Bash	Single quotes; embedded `'` becomes `'\''`.
Bash $'…'	ANSI-C quoting — escapes control chars and Unicode.
PowerShell	Single quotes; embedded `'` becomes `''`.
Windows cmd.exe	Double quotes with `^` escaping for `& \| < > ^ %`.
JSON array	For Dockerfile / GitHub Actions exec form.
