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
