I use the following in my .bashrc to easily generate this skeleton to a file for quick deployment of a bash script:

make_bash_script() {
wget -O "$1" https://gist.githubusercontent.com/sempervent/4d94593e0d56f8fc1b43f92b9983d61f/raw/f4d761ad28ec20ceb45c4ae03f32628bb868946e/bash_skeleton.sh
}

usage is make_bash_script <name of script>

Love the idea of this and infact the script itself its just a little difficult to read with all the hyphens, otherwise very cool!
Also a fan of your make_bash_scripts function in your bashrc very clever

I've updated the script with the capabilities of passing an ENV var $PROJECT, with the below function added to your vimrc, it can be set within your env or passed when you invoke your new script.

I've also revised my make_bash_script function to chmod +x and then vim the file you created

make_bash_script() {
SKELETON_URL=${BASH_SKELETON_URL:-"https://gist.githubusercontent.com/sempervent/4d94593e0d56f8fc1b43f92b9983d61f/raw/fe08f3de2b023dee323914ad564a5d746f4c6348/bash_skeleton.sh"}
wget -O "$1" "$SKELETON_URL"
chmod +x "$1"
vim "$1"
}

usage is

# this will make a bash script called "test.sh"
# this makes the script executable and opens the script in vim
make_bash_script test.sh
# if your project requires multiple scripts, you can EXPORT PROJECT or use project environment management
PROJECT="my silly project" test.sh >> more_specific_script.sh
