Argc is an easier way to handle sh/bash cli parameters. Allows you to create a command line program by simply describing the options, parameters, and subcommands in comments. Once you set it to work, Argc extracts parameter definitions from comments, parses command line arguments, outputs error text/help info for an abnormal parameter or the parsed parameter variable for a normal one, and finally, calls any subcommand function. A shout out to sigoden for this suggestion.

Argbash – Bash Argument Parsing Code Generator
Huh, it uses M4 to build its DSL, how quaint.
I wish there were more projects on the other side of the spectrum: take the script's self-reported usage string, à la docopt [0], and derive argument-parsing code from that. After all, we have GPT-4 now.
