Beautiful Scripts
And like many I've spent waaay too long messing around with my shell environment, which has wound up as ProfileGem, a modular shell environment manager, along with prompt.gem, my custom terminal prompt. Some features that stand out:

Docopt.sh – Command-Line Argument Parser for Bash 3.2, 4, and 5
I like that this generates readable output that could pass as hand-written code.
The docopt.sh output looks like it went through a JS minifier. Or is there a way to change that? If so I think it should default to that.

Programs are dead, and JavaScript has killed them
If you want to avoid having to write your own args parser everytime or think getopt is a pain, you should check out my little project:
https://github.com/andsens/docopt.sh
No dependencies, the code is directly inlined into your script, and you write the args parser by writing the help-text.

Beautiful Scripts
Honestly, I left it as a gist because even though it reduces boilerplate, getopts is still not a great flag parser (e.g. only supports single-letter flags, and no type safety or other validation aside from boolean / string). I use it in my shell environment since I have lots of shell functions and I don't care to pull in a "real" parser into my shell, but if I was writing any sort of more complex standalone script I probably wouldn't use it. Check out docopt if you haven't seen it, I've been meaning to give that a whirl at some point.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ProfileGem and docopt.sh you can also consider the following projects:
bash-cache - Transparent caching layer for bash functions; particularly useful for functions invoked as part of your prompt.
docopt - This project is no longer maintained. Please see https://github.com/jazzband/docopt-ng
shrc - My bashrc/shrc that supports bash, zsh, busybox ash and even Dash. ( has: OS and shell detection )
