Is there a recommended alternative to getopts?

• argbash

  13 1,367 0.0 M4

  Bash argument parsing code generator

Yeah, now that I look at it a bit closer, it is quirky. Not unmanageable, but I think I prefer something like Argparse which generates the parsing code for you using a simpler language.

• sh_libpath

  7 9 4.4 Shell

  Making shell scripts more robust with libraries

There are a number of library files that offer a range of arg handling possibilities in different ways, I collated several of them here, but I don't have a favourite.

• InfluxDB

• getoptions

  7 373 0.0 Shell

  An elegant option/argument parser for shell scripts (full support for bash and all POSIX shells)

I like to use https://github.com/ko1nksm/getoptions

• shflags

  3 279 6.0 Shell

  shFlags is a port of the Google gflags library for Unix shell.

Wow thanks! I just found another option, https://github.com/kward/shflags, but yours looks even better.
