Why? If it works and it gives you the features you require that where's the issue? If all 1200 lines of code are utilised and provides you with the blog stack then that's pretty efficient.

How is this any different of someone including multiple python modules to create the same stack for which probably amount to more lines of code if you were to copy and paste in to a single document.

It's like react, a stack with stupid amount of LoC only for the developer to use 1% of and the rest sits unused and bugs the site.

You can source bash scripts so if it's lines of code, break them in to chunks.

Note that I didn't say anything about "If it works and gives you the features you require", you added that.

If you remove that from your reply you're on your way to understanding why I don't like an absolute unit of a bash script.

It often doesn't work.

There's no problem with 1200 lines of code. The problem is 1200 lines of Bash. The difference is that Bash is incredibly awkward and error prone compared to almost every other language out there.
