  Command-line argument parser for bash 3.2, 4+, and 5+.

I like that this generates readable output that could pass as hand-written code.

The docopt.sh output looks like it went through a JS minifier. Or is there a way to change that? If so I think it should default to that.

For anyone unfamiliar, docopt is an established standard for specifying arguments in a script’s doc string. I use it for Python and it’s lovely. You’re going to write a docstring with examples anyway, why not make them functional?

  Discontinued Docopt for Rust (command line argument parser).

  

Consider using clap or possibly structopt instead.

It's a lovely way to internalize the CLI argument cultural norms, decrease confusing and verbose argument parsing, make argument parsing work-free for the developer, and make argument parsing a copy-paste across languages. There's no greater pleasure than iteratively adding options to your program by just adding a line of text

-n, --new-option Do something new

I honestly think making a docopt parser is just very hard, which may limit its future prospects.
