I have an above-average interest and pleasure in developing bash scripts and I share that passion in various ways.
I bundled all of them in the Bashful Scripting network.
## Bashew Script Microframework
My biggest project is a work of love I started in 2017 as bash-boilerplate and that resulted in [github.com/pforret/bashew](https://github.com/pforret/bashew) . It's a tool to create bash scripts, with high-quality boilerplate code, batteries-included.

## Bashful Scripting Newsletter @ Revue
I started a (+- monthly) email newsletter with curated links to bash-related content.
Tips & tricks for development, interesting bash projects, articles on advanced or beginner's topics.
I get a lot of content from Hacker news and Github.

## Basher Packages Directory
Any serious development environment needs a system for package management (install/upgrade/uninstall). I work with basher, developed in bash by Juan Ibiapina, because it's the most intuitive in my opinion.
E.g. basher install pforret/splashmark installs my [splashmark](https://github.com/pforret/splashmark) program in 5 seconds, and it works immediately.
What was still missing, however, was a directory of `basher` compatible projects.
So I started one: [www.basher.it/package](https://www.basher.it/package)
