If it’s just a few lines or some one-off thing, I understand the use of bash.

I start to get the feeling that if you feel the need for shell scripts, it might be wise to pause and wonder of this is really the right approach long-term. Especially if you feel the need to put it in git or something.

My experience is that there are often I need to put in some checks for safety and before I know it, you create a mess of grep awk cut sed and you wish you started out with python.

Are you really that much in a hurry or do you have the time to calmly spend a little bit more time to ‘do it right?’
