Bash Script Style Guide
- Use
#!/usr/bin/env bashas shebang - Always use
set -euo pipefailfor safety - Keep scripts minimal: no unnecessary comments or echoes
- Minimal input validation; print usage to stderr and exit if inputs are missing/invalid
- Don't check for installed commands if failure is obvious on use
- Make script executable:
chmod +x <script> - Prefer concise, direct logic over verbosity
