Argbash – Bash Argument Parsing Code Generator
I'm a fan of BashBoilerPlate (Bash3BoilerPlate) - https://github.com/xwmx/bash-boilerplate
It uses a similar style of deriving the arguments from the usage declaration, but it also includes some useful logging functions and is all in one script. There's some more info available on their style choices here: https://bash3boilerplate.sh/

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.
