Use case

A bash framework to fill the gaps to write testable, predictable and scoped code in bash highly inspired by jandob's great tool rebash rebash.

Integrate bashlink into your bash script (only main entry file):

if [ -f "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/node_modules/bashlink/module.sh" ]; then
    # shellcheck disable=SC1090
    source "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/node_modules/bashlink/module.sh"
elif [ -f "/usr/lib/bashlink/module.sh" ]; then
    # shellcheck disable=SC1091
    source "/usr/lib/bashlink/module.sh"
else
    echo Needed bashlink library not found 1>&2
    exit 1
fi
bl.module.import bashlink.logging
# Your code comes here.

Integrate bashlink into your standalone bash script:

declare -gr MODULE_NAME_BASHLINK_PATH="$(
    mktemp --directory --suffix -module-name-bashlink
)/bashlink/"
mkdir "$MODULE_NAME_BASHLINK_PATH"
if curl \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thaibault/bashlink/main/module.sh \
        >"${MODULE_NAME_BASHLINK_PATH}module.sh"
then
    declare -gr BL_MODULE_RETRIEVE_REMOTE_MODULES=true
    # shellcheck disable=SC1091
    source "${MODULE_NAME_BASHLINK_PATH}module.sh"
else
    echo Needed bashlink library not found 1>&2
    rm --force --recursive "$MODULE_NAME_BASHLINK_PATH"
    exit 1
fi
# Your standalone code comes here

Or combine both to implement a very agnostic script.

if [ -f "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/node_modules/bashlink/module.sh" ]; then
    # shellcheck disable=SC1090
    source "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/node_modules/bashlink/module.sh"
elif [ -f "/usr/lib/bashlink/module.sh" ]; then
    # shellcheck disable=SC1091
    source "/usr/lib/bashlink/module.sh"
else
    declare -gr MODULE_NAME_BASHLINK_PATH="$(
        mktemp --directory --suffix -module-name-bashlink
    )/bashlink/"
    mkdir "$MODULE_NAME_BASHLINK_PATH"
    if curl \
        https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thaibault/bashlink/main/module.sh \
            >"${MODULE_NAME_BASHLINK_PATH}module.sh"
    then
        declare -gr BL_MODULE_RETRIEVE_REMOTE_MODULES=true
        # shellcheck disable=SC1090
        source "${MODULE_NAME_BASHLINK_PATH}/module.sh"
    else
        echo Needed bashlink library not found 1>&2
        rm --force --recursive "$MODULE_NAME_BASHLINK_PATH"
        exit 1
    fi
fi
# Your portable code comes here.

Best practise (entry) module pattern:

if [ -f "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/node_modules/bashlink/module.sh" ]; then
    # shellcheck disable=SC1090
    source "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/node_modules/bashlink/module.sh"
elif [ -f "/usr/lib/bashlink/module.sh" ]; then
    # shellcheck disable=SC1091
    source "/usr/lib/bashlink/module.sh"
else
    declare -gr MODULE_NAME_BASHLINK_PATH="$(
        mktemp --directory --suffix -module-name-bashlink
    )/bashlink/"
    mkdir "$MODULE_NAME_BASHLINK_PATH"
    if curl \
        https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thaibault/bashlink/main/module.sh \
            >"${MODULE_NAME_BASHLINK_PATH}module.sh"
    then
        declare -gr BL_MODULE_RETRIEVE_REMOTE_MODULES=true
        # shellcheck disable=SC1090
        source "${MODULE_NAME_BASHLINK_PATH}/module.sh"
    else
        echo Needed bashlink library not found 1>&2
        rm --force --recursive "$MODULE_NAME_BASHLINK_PATH"
        exit 1
    fi
