First entry in a series on my first true bash script, one with a purpose.

Building a cli program flow in order to archive a single webpage or article.

The problem to be solved:

I have a desire to be able to, through the command line, download a single webpage into a self-contained .html file with the option to convert it to (or save alongside) other formats such as PDF, EPUB, or even md if possible. There are two main use-cases I want to offer: 1) get the entire webpage, strip out the ads/useless shit, and save the new version locally & 2) for journal/website articles, blog entries, or tutorials: simply save the main content and discard every other element from the source.

The inital idea for solution:

A bash script that takes in a URL and, through menu redirection, outputs the desired file(s) into a standard directory.

Why not use currently available methods:

I've come across quite a few programs and scripts that seem like they would be perfect for what I want to do, but unfortunately I'm using termux on an Android and most of them do not work

This SoC is mainly created so I could use the hub command to push a gist to GitHub. This would give me a lazy way to get onto GitHub, via the generated by hub link to the gist, without actually alt-tabing to FireFox.. All so I can search for some little whirly gig application that has now completely slipped from my memory.
