At bitcrowd, we love conventions. Being an agency, we jump projects, codebases, frameworks and languages quite a lot - to a point where it's impossible to keep all the details about every project one's head. It's not necessary to actually have this knowledge in practise though. Some people knowing the details of some projects is enough. They can onboard others who then slowly forget the details of their previous projects… A well-established, semi-stable cycle of knowledge transfer with some silos here and some information lost there - but overall working.
People at Github made an attempt to fix this situation: scripts to rule them all. The idea is to have common set of executable scripts for common developer tasks in a script/ directory in the root of every project:
Linting your shell scripts with Shellcheck can improve the situation a lot though. It is also a great resource and opportunity to learn about best practices.
