I know that I can pin applications to the dock and launch them from there. However, is there a way to pin a program to the dock that is not an “application” in the MacOS sense, like a bash script for example?

You can drag any file to the right bar of the Dock (where the Trash and folders are), and execute it by clicking it.
To execute a shell script, you can save it as a .command file and the OS will pick it up.
Another alternative would be to create an Applescript application for your script, and use it like any application.
