Bash Infinity is a standard library and boilerplate framework for writing Bash scripts, bringing concepts like OOP, try-catch exceptions, named parameters, and imports from languages like C# and JavaScript into Bash. It is modular and plug-and-play, letting scripts adopt individual features such as error handling, logging, and unit testing gradually.

Use cases

• add try-catch error handling with stack traces to bash scripts
• write unit tests for shell scripts
• use named parameters instead of $1 $2 in bash functions
• add colorful structured logging to bash tooling
• import modules into bash scripts like require-js
• make large bash scripts more readable and maintainable

When to choose

• you maintain substantial bash scripts and want cleaner syntax, error handling, and logging
• you want a modular standard library you can adopt feature-by-feature
• you need a unit test library for shell code

When to avoid

• starting a major new project on the whole framework - the author recommends against it pending a 3.0 rewrite
• you need bash 3 compatibility without porting effort
• you want an actively developed project with strong test coverage
