wagoodman/bashful

Use a yaml file to stitch together commands and bash snippits and run them with a bit of style. Why? Because your bash script should be quiet and shy-like (...and not such a loud mouth). observed · 2026-08-28

A Go CLI tool that runs bash commands and snippets defined in a YAML file, with parallel execution, progress bars, and tidy logging. It turns noisy shell scripts into styled, controllable task pipelines.

Use cases

  • run bash tasks from a yaml file
  • run shell commands in parallel with a progress bar
  • replace messy bash scripts with a yaml task runner
  • build and deploy steps defined in yaml
  • bundle scripts and executables into a portable installer
  • log stdout and stderr of scripted commands

When to choose

  • you want pretty, quiet output from multi-step shell scripts
  • you need serial or parallel task execution with progress and ETA
  • you want a self-contained installer built from scripts and resources

When to avoid

  • you need a mature, actively maintained tool (beta quality, last release 2022)
  • you need full CI/CD pipeline features beyond simple task running
  • you prefer standard bash or a full workflow engine like Airflow
