Safe Minimal Bash Script Template

Writing Bash scripts is fun - until an unnoticed error breaks everything .

Key Safety Features​

A good template should include:

• set -e → stops the script immediately when an error occurs.
• set -u → prevents the use of uninitialized variables.

• Event logging → tracks actions for easier debugging and maintenance.

Why It Matters​
