in a more traditional workflow, one can have steps that run relative bash scripts, ie:

```auto
steps:
  - checkout
  - run:
      command: |
        .circleci/install_tools.sh
        .circleci/release.sh

```

I’m wondering if there’s a way to package the `.sh` scripts with the Orb, so that different users of the orb get the same functionality that’s in the scripts.

There is no way to package up the bash scripts, but you could write them in-line within the orb itself.

This would make the orb code look a bit messy, but it would be transparent to the user of that orb.
