Bash script creator app I am a beginner and have created this bash script that helps me with creating bash scripts. 

The script shows no issues on shellcheck.net 

The code can be found here. https://github.com/plutesci/Iwanttobash/blob/master/Icode.bash

I would like some feedback from more experienced users. Any suggestions or thoughts about this.

Good things


lots of comments are good.
clear keeps things clean when you start
This is an interesting way to learn shell scripting.  My friends would call it "very meta" which is high praise indeed.
I usually tell people they should have run their code through https://www.shellcheck.net/ before worrying about a review.  Amazingly enough you didn't trip any of the checks over there so: try it on your next shell project.  Or read their docs to see what to avoid in the future.


Suggestions


In your lines echo #################### all of the hashes (####################) are completely superfluous.  As you have it or simply writing echo will do the same thing.  Just reading the code it implies that the hashes are getting output, which they're not since the shell views it as one big comment.  You could put the hashes in quotes and then the shell would not "remove" it from the output.
Indenting most of the stuff inside the until is good.  It'd be nice to do the same thing for the case statement.  Your compact layout actually works in this case so I wouldn't mind seeing:

case $selection in
    1 ) echo "#!/bin/bash" &gt; "$text.bash" ; nano "$text.bash"  ;;
    2 ) chmod 755 "$text.bash" ;;
    3 ) gnome-terminal ; echo "./$text.bash" ;; 
    4 ) nano "$text.bash" ;;
    5 ) idle ;;
    6 ) gnome-terminal ;;
    7 ) nano ;; # would be something like grep a special crafted document
    8 ) echo "#!/bin/bash" &gt; "$text.bash" ;;
    9 ) cat icodehelp ;;
    0 ) exit ;;
    * ) echo "Please enter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 0"
esac


but it would look more like most people write shell scripts if you spaced it out like:

case $selection in
    1 ) 
        echo "#!/bin/bash" &gt; "$text.bash"
        nano "$text.bash"
        ;;
    2 )
        chmod 755 "$text.bash"
        ;;
    3 )
        gnome-terminal
        echo "./$text.bash"
        ;;
    4 )
        nano "$text.bash"
        ;;
    5 )
        idle
        ;;
    6 )
        gnome-terminal
        ;;
    7 )
        nano
        ;; # would be something like grep a special crafted document
    8 )
        echo "#!/bin/bash" &gt; "$text.bash"
        ;;
    9 )
        cat icodehelp
        ;;
    0 )
        exit
        ;;
    * )
        echo "Please enter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 0"
esac


That's obviously take up three times as many lines, but if you decide to add more to any of the sections it will remain readable.
Much of your code is outputting blocks of text.  Rather than doing the echo after echo thing it is easier to scale this to multiple lines of text at once with a "Here Document".  To replace your block of echos after figlet you could do:

cat &lt;&lt;-EXAMPLE
Showing a way to use the command line steps to start a Hello World   program
Where you see test.bash, Please rename test.bash
Follow Steps Below... 

echo '#!/bin/bash' &gt; test.bash 
'echo Hello World' &gt;&gt; test.bash
chmod 755 test.bash
nano test.bash
Exit Ctrl-c

EXAMPLE


This will do the same thing as what you already had, but it avoids needing to worrying about the quoting on each line.  It does remove the ability to comment within it, but usually that's a smaller issue than keeping straight whether you are in the text to be output or in scripting code.  By including the - in &lt;&lt;- we are saying to ignore initial tabs in the Heredoc content.  The tabs get removed on the fly and not exposed to the end user.  This lets you use it inside the until to indent the whole cat and keep everything looking neat.
You could avoid the need for banner or figlet by the users of your script if you took the output of them and saved it into your script, probably in a Heredoc.  Since you're not passing anything variable into them, their output won't change and so "caching" a static version won't reduce any existing functionality.

cat &lt;&lt;'ICODE'
 ___              _      
|_ _|___ ___   __| | ___ 
 | |/ __/ _ \ / _` |/ _ \
 | | (_| (_) | (_| |  __/
|___\___\___/ \__,_|\___|
ICODE


In this case the Heredoc starts with single quotes (&lt;&lt;'ICODE') so that the contents are passed through without any values being replaced.
Your option 9 for help could be done without an external file.  Typically this would be done by defining a function and then calling it inside your case statement.  Inside the function could simply be a cat with a Heredoc.  But doing that means you don't have to worry about the help file getting lost.


Ideas


If you like figlet try cowsay!  :=)
Try reading the bash man page a few times.  It is long and arduous, but full of lots of useful info if you can make it.
https://kvz.io/blog/2013/11/21/bash-best-practices/ has some easier to digest suggestions.  Looking at your menu section I was really hoping to find a set -x so we could see the commands running too.  This may not fit your UX, but it is worth trying to see how tracing works.
