The easy way to start building BASH command-line application.

bash-init is the easy way to start building BASH command-line application. All you need to do is to set application name and its subcommands. You can forcus on core function of application.

bash-init has some inspirations from @kfiravi's "Defensive BASH programming" post.

You just need to set its application name:

$ bash-init [options] [application]

If you want to start to building todo application which has subcommands add, list, delete:

$ bash-init -s add,list,delete todo

You can see sample, tcnksm/sample-bash-init.

bash-init generates main.sh, everything in one shellscript.

bash-init generates some useful functions to write good bash script.

It makes outputs more easy to understand.

info() {
    echo -e "\033[34m$@\033[m" # blue
}

warn() {
    echo -e "\033[33m$@\033[m" # yellow
}

error() {
    echo -e "\033[31m$@\033[m" # red
}

It makes bashscript more readable.

is_empty() {
    local var=$1

    [[ -n $var ]]
}

    local file=$1

    [[ -f $file ]]
}
