Is there a recommended alternative to getopts?
Wow thanks! I just found another option, https://github.com/kward/shflags, but yours looks even better.

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?
