I wrote a bash dependency checker (self.linux)

https://bshchk.blek.codes/

this is a program that parses a bash file, collects all dependencies and then adds a snippet at the start of the file that would check if they are installed at the earliest point possible, to prevent situations where a program just fails in the middle of execution because some random dependency is not installed

i've originally made this to use it in another project, but might just as well share with y'all

thats not exactly the point of bshchk. the idea is to have it run on any platform, in a single bash script, just as amber does (the another project mentioned earlier)
