Commander attempts to generalize the basic cli command pattern in bash. For tools that tend to have a tree like command structure, this tool makes calling those subcommands trivial. For example, given the following project structure:

bin/tool
commands/test.sh
commands/sub/test.sh
commands/sub2/test.sh

Given commander, they could be run via:

tool test
tool sub test
tool sub2 test

Arguments can be passed through transparently and are correctly expanded.

Commander does not come with any executable scripts. It must be required by other bashum projects.

In a project.sh file:

depends 'commander'

Inside an executable:

#! /usr/bin/env bash

require_bashum 'commander'
require 'lib/commander/commander.sh'

commander_run "$@"

Done!
