bashumerate: A Simple Bash Enumerator to Replace xargs and Complex Loops

I wrote an bash enumerator because I was sick of xargs

I created bashumerate because I was tired of the inconsistent syntax and quirks of xargs and traditional shell loops. This tool offers a unified way to iterate over files, lines, ranges, or lists using a single consistent placeholder. It supports NUL-safe processing, custom filters, and even lets you add your own source types by simply dropping a script into a library folder, making shell scripting cleaner and more reliable.

"That's it. No registration, no config — just name the function enumerate_source_<name> and it's available."
