My Bash Script Preamble Boilerplate

Read Original

This article details a developer's personal Bash script preamble boilerplate, including the shebang, strict error handling (errexit, pipefail, nounset), on-the-fly debugging with a DEBUG variable, and 'magic' variables for file paths. It provides the code and a thorough explanation of each component's purpose and best practices for writing more reliable and maintainable Bash scripts.
