I wrote bash scripts for several years now. You can find old bash scripts of mine on GitHub but most of them aren’t maintained anymore - and I have a reason for that.

But before I give you my reasons for not using many bash scripts anymore, lets look at the benefits of bash:

• It super easy and you basically already can it if you write Linux / BSD commands
• There are frameworks out now which give you advanced features like testing
• It works out of the box on nearly every Linux / BSD system

Okay - sounds good - so what’s my problem?
