Excellent article, and very helpful comment discussions as well! The concise descriptions with supporting examples makes it a quick and effective read.
Anyway, wish I had read an article like this 9 months ago-- the information about shift, loops and functions would have gone a long way in the scripts I've been writing to provision our Ubuntu Vagrant VMs for use as localhost web dev environments.
Looking forward to applying some of this. Thx for posting!
Just as a quick comment - you should check out actual provisioning tools, such as SaltStack and Ansible if you want reproducible environments (or event driven infrastructure actions, secret management, easily distributable remote command execution, etc. etc.)

Glad you liked it! Honestly, I wrote it after struggling with bash for a few weeks. I was copying and pasting things I did not understand exactly how they worked.. mainly that while-shift loop.
