Need to use shellcheck with .zsh and or #!/bin/zsh scripts? [SC1071]

If, like me, you find yourself trying to use shellcheck to lint .zsh files with #!/bin/zsh but it keeps telling you:

shellcheck: error
error - ShellCheck only supports sh/bash/dash/ksh scripts. 
Sorry! [SC1071]

What I was able to do is pass the --shell=bash argument to shellcheck and then it would lint my files.

In my case this was configured in my SublimeLinter config, like so:

{
    "linters": {
        "shellcheck": {
            "args": [
                "--shell=bash"
            ]
        },
    }
}

...just in case you are using Sublime Text!

For VSCode shellcheck extension do

{
    "shellcheck.customArgs": ["--shell=bash"]
}
