bashbud - make(1) bash scripting better

The bashbud script/command is a very simple cp(1) wrapper that simply merge a directory from ~/.config/bashbud/ into a target directory. The directories in ~/.config/bashbud are called templates, and the default template is called default. The default template have a carefully created Makefile, that makes (no pun intended) bash script maintenance pleasant. Especially in regards to managing commandline options and documentation.

There is a tutorial in the wiki, that walks you through all the functionality of the bashbud command and what the Makefile does.
