🚀 Feature Request

Checklist

  • No duplicate issues/PRs
  • Are you running the latest downgrade release from the AUR?

Background

Currently, we handle CLI argument parsing on our own (i.e. without external tools).

Proposed feature

Our workflow would benefit from using getopt to aid CLI argument parsing.

commented

We should use POSIX's getopts instead of Bash's getopt for reasons mentioned here:

#196 (comment)

Since getopt only support short arguments, we could use these specifically for lower-level scripts that downgrade calls.
