pure-sh-bible VS elvish

The guy who wrote it, also wrote a POSIX Shell bible: https://github.com/dylanaraps/pure-sh-bible

Do you have any specific examples to cite? The snippets are meant to be run in POSIX-compliant shells like dash/yash/ash/etc, not just Bash in compatibility mode.

In fact, there used to be a section which listed workarounds[1] for bugs in dash, but they have since been fixed[2]. If you are still using an old version of dash, you may need to use them.

Personally, I would steer clear of a script that installs dependencies on it's own. Us sysadmins prefer to manage our own dependencies, generally speaking. Instead consider a README that outlines how to meet/install dependencies for the script, or try to find ways to write your script in pure Shell or Bash without using tools like awk, jq, etc. Consider having a look at the Pure Sh Bible for examples of how to do many useful things in pure Sh.

Shameless plug: Elvish is a shell with a filesystem navigator built in - you can see it in demo 5 on the homepage https://elv.sh

If you are looking for a more sane *shell* scripting language, Elvish looks promising: https://elv.sh/

I use Elvish as my shell so this is r/technicallythetruth for me
