linux - getopts: How to accept arguments that aren't tied to an option in my script? -

• how parse command line arguments in bash? 28 answers

i'm writing bash script has following usage:

ci-badge -t|-a [-b branch] [-m] [-d description] [-l [link] ] repo 

examples:

$ ci-badge -t foo/bar $ ci-badge -ab dev foo/bar -m $ ci-badge quux/bar -md 'hello, world.' 

more samples can found here on github. anyway, i'm wondering how implement argument parsing script using getopts. after few hours looking @ this basic getopts guide , scouring so, code looks far:

#!/usr/bin/env bash  generate_url=false # set true if -l passed no arg markdown=false # true -> surround url markdown  # parse options while getopts ':tab:md:l:' opt     case "$opt" in         a) service=appveyor ;;         b) branch=$optarg ;;         d) description=$optarg ;;         l) url=$optarg ;;         m) markdown=true ;;         t) service=travis ;;         # colon: runs if no args passed         # option requires parameters.         :) test "$optarg" = l && generate_url=true ;;         # ?: runs if invalid option passed.         '?') die ;;     esac done 

as can see, of functionality there, i'm wondering how accept repo argument script. since getopts stops parsing after encounters first non-option argument, i'm wondering, how implement (preferably minimal complexity)? guide linked earlier doesn't seem mention dealing arguments aren't associated option, i'm bit lost.

thanks helping!

use $optind value. after getopts cycle:

shift $((optind-1)) echo $@ echo $1 $2 ...
