I could but no one else on my team (which is used to Linux) would touch my scripts.

Proprietary 'shell' vs. linux DIY/customized setup.

There are a multiple publically accessible/usable sources which can be found via search engine(s) to extend bash / unix shell functionality based on points discussed in topic link.

few article link topic snippits:

* approaches to autocompletion : [0][1]

* 'man' command and/or cli option -h to cli command shows 'docstring' / options

* jq resources for shell plugin[2]
