Is there a recommended alternative to getopts?
Yeah, now that I look at it a bit closer, it is quirky. Not unmanageable, but I think I prefer something like Argparse which generates the parsing code for you using a simpler language.

Is there a recommended alternative to getopts?
Wow thanks! I just found another option, https://github.com/kward/shflags, but yours looks even better.
- jetopt: a dead simple wrapper around getopt you always dreamed of!

Bash's getopts is really frustrating to work with, so I made a helper that simplifies it to just a line or two
If getopts isn't doing it for you, there are already existing libraries to assist. Kate Ward's shflags and Matěj Týč's argbash are a couple of the better established/known ones. Although there are others e.g.
What are some alternatives?
bash-argsparse - An high level argument parsing library for bash
getoptions - An elegant option/argument parser for shell scripts (full support for bash and all POSIX shells)
docopts - Shell interpreter for docopt, the command-line interface description language.
modernish - Modernish is a library for writing robust, portable, readable, and powerful programs for POSIX-based shells and utilities.
sh_libpath - Making shell scripts more robust with libraries
oil - Oils is our upgrade path from bash to a better language and runtime. It's also for Python and JavaScript users who avoid shell!
argparse-bash - Use python's argparse module in shell scripts
bash_opts - SImple Bash options parser
basher - A package manager for shell scripts.
