Why we chose Bash to write our CI scripts at FusionCharts

npm test
| - lint
| - build
| - docs
| - verify

• Each script begins with set -e.
• Followed by a banner.
• Followed by an ASCII art!
• Inline comments in markdown, describing every step.
• Use echo to provide progress reports.

• Take out all the code, leaving the comments.
• Remove preceding "#" from the beginning of line.
• The script will be a valid Markdown file, describing a process.

It is great for medium-sized CI projects, till you know what you are doing.
