SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Architectural guidance for bash project scaffolding to help you pick the right structure (single-file vs modular) and provide ready-made templates for rapid startup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture decision matrix based on complexity and size to choose between single-file and modular layouts
  • Complete templates for both architectures (bin/ and lib/ in modular, and a single-file script in simple cases)
  • Clear migration guidance from simple to modular structures with references to testing patterns and best practices

Quick Start

Use this setup to scaffold a new bash project quickly with either a single-file or modular architecture.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a bash project for scalability?

Bash project structure for scalability relies on a modular layout with separate bin/ and lib/ directories. This architecture separates entry-point scripts from reusable function libraries, enabling easier maintenance as the codebase grows.

When should I use a single-file bash script instead of a modular architecture?

Use a single-file bash script for small utilities with minimal logic. When the project's complexity and size increase, an architecture decision matrix helps determine the right time to migrate to a modular layout to maintain code clarity.

How do I migrate a single-file bash script to a modular layout?

Migrating a single-file bash script to a modular layout involves moving executable logic into a bin/ directory and reusable functions into a lib/ directory. Step-by-step guidance and testing scaffolding patterns help ensure the transition maintains functionality.

What is the best way to scaffold a new bash CLI project?

The best way to scaffold a bash CLI project is using pre-built architecture templates. These templates provide ready-made structures for both simple single-file scripts and scalable modular layouts, allowing rapid startup tailored to the project's complexity.

Does a modular bash architecture support testing scaffolding?

Yes, a modular bash architecture supports testing scaffolding. The provided templates include references to testing patterns and best practices, ensuring that scripts separated into bin/ and lib/ directories can be validated effectively.
