Bashly – Create beautiful bash scripts from simple YAML configuration
IMHO, I don't think most people commenting here are getting it.
As an example, here's a bash alias generator, alf [0], which itself is a bash script, created using this. The bash script for alf is note really small [1]. Additionally, the output is extremely readable unlike most other bash scripts I myself have written!
Really amazing piece of software! Kudos.

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Makefiles
Scripts in bin have no documentation, no easy way to enumerate them, etc. There is definitely a time and a place for bin scripts, especially as things grow in complexity. However the beauty of just is that there's one file (the justfile) that defines all of your project's actions. You don't have to go spelunking into bin to figure out how to tweak a compiler flag, etc. And since just will run anything there's no reason why your complex bin scripts can't just be called from a simple one liner task in a justfile.
Could your write a bash script that does stuff like enumerate all the bin scripts, pull out documentation comments, etc.? Absolutely, and people have followed that pattern for a while (see https://github.com/qrush/sub) but it's a bunch of boilerplate to copy between projects. Just pulls out that logic into a simpler config file.
