Yep, me as well and I have been using Gimp for years. Most of the advice reads like Sanskrit.
There is the Gimp manual, https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/ This still refers to old Gimp versions, could do with an update.
And script-fu examples of code https://renenyffenegger.ch/notes/design/graphic/GIMP/Fu/Script/scripts/simple-demonstrations/index for what it is worth.
Ofnuts gives this advice for python https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44430081/how-to-run-python-scripts-using-gimpfu-from-command-line/44435560#44435560 and a spin off that is more readable https://ntcore.com/?p=509 and probably as good as you will get.
Then it depends what you want to do. Alternatives to command line and writing scripts. For basic manipulations - cropping - resizing - changing image format ....
There is a Gimp batch plugin BIMP https://alessandrofrancesconi.it/projects/bimp/
...and non Gimp ImageMagick - It is command line but is scriptable in a Windows or linux batch file.

Oooookkkkey, someone i can pay to do the script? i am not going to learn another language for this. For easy batch mode i usually i use Irfanview.
Script fu, look better but no much documentation for the commands.

Tell us what you want to do - it's very possible someone has already written something similar.
