HTPGen – Quickly generate .htpasswd / .htaccess files for basic Apache authentication. To be able to run `htpgen.sh` from anywhere, place the file somewhere that's included in your `PATH`, e.g. `/usr/local/bin` or `/usr/bin`.

htpgen.sh

#!/bin/bash

read -p "Enter username: " -r ht_username
read -p "Enter password: " -sr ht_password
echo -en "\n"
read -p "Enter full path to where .htpasswd will be placed on the web server: " -r ht_path

htpasswd -nb $ht_username $ht_password > .htpasswd

echo "AuthType Basic
AuthName \"Log in\"
AuthUserFile $ht_path
Require valid-user" > .htaccess

echo "
.htaccess / .htpasswd files created in $PWD

Username: $ht_username
Path: $ht_path
