Parse bash scripts flags
I'm trying to parse shell script arguments that aren't key-value pairs. An example of what that may look like when calling the bash script in a YAML file:
commands:
- ./scripts/test.sh "Test Title" --skip-import --verbose
...
Unfortunately I can't use getops, since the script takes in long arguments. How might I go about parsing the arguments? Thanks in advance!
