Since this depends on the terminal, you can either pretend using a dumb
terminal:

TERM=dumb vim -n -X -E -c 'normal gg=G' -c 'x' file.sh < /dev/tty

or alternatively use set the `t_ti` and `t_te` terminal options to
empty:

vim -n --cmd ':set t_ti= t_te=' -X -E -c 'normal gg=G' -c 'x' file.sh < /dev/tty
