A style guide and set of best practices for writing robust Bash scripts, framed as a document for collaborators. It codifies rules like quoting variables, using functions and main, set -eo pipefail, and avoiding deprecated syntax.

Use cases

• write safer bash scripts
• bash coding style guide
• best practices for shell scripting
• defensive bash programming
• review bash scripts for common pitfalls
• learn bash conventions for open source projects

When to choose

• you write Bash scripts and want a concise, opinionated set of rules
• you want to standardize Bash style across a team or project
• you are learning defensive Bash techniques like traps, local variables, and strict mode

When to avoid

• you need a linter or automated enforcement tool rather than a written guide
• you are targeting POSIX sh or other shells instead of Bash specifically
• you need comprehensive shell scripting tutorials rather than a rules list
