ParseArger

Generate standalone bash scripts with proper argument parsing. Zero dependencies. Pure bash. Pure chaos.

About

ParseArger turns your command-line ideas into fully formed bash scripts that handle argument parsing the way you would have written it yourself, if you had the patience. Instead of wrestling with getopts, long-option conventions, or third-party parsers, an easy CLI that helps you describe what your script needs and ParseArger produces a standalone bash file ready to run. Everything it generates is pure bash with zero dependencies. The output script does not pull in libraries, frameworks, or runtime tools, so it can be dropped onto any Unix-like system and executed immediately. That makes the resulting scripts easy to share, easy to audit, and easy to version alongside the rest of your tooling. Argument handling covers the cases that matter in real scripts: short flags, long options, required values, defaults, and usage output. You get predictable, readable parsing logic in seconds, which means less time spent reinventing boilerplate and more time on what the script is actually meant to do. It is a small, focused tool for developers who live in the terminal and want their scripts to behave like proper command-line programs. And of course, you can have AI write the command for you, if you are too lazy !
