The xz attack shell script

I have seen people write bash scripts with a lot of love and attention trying really hard to pay attention to modern best practices and avoiding known pitfalls and using shellcheck. It still looked like shit imo.

I challenge you to find a single easily readable >100 line bash script and link it here (I do think small scripts can be fine).

While not completely up to my own standards, this is pretty neat and readable: https://rclone.org/install.sh

I may add more if I have time today.

Must say I'm pleasantly surprised.

Yep, my experience of this was at google, where I heard "gbash is actually pretty good!", so I learned that system well (because shell scripts are incredibly useful!), but still found the results unsatisfyingly inscrutable.
