title: How to make a shell executable node file using TypeScript
body: <p>Normally in node files I just put</p>
  
  <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/env node 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>at the top and make it executable to create a file that can be run from a bash terminal. However if I do that in a Typescript file, the compiler says "error TS1001: Unexpected character "#"" and refuses to compile it. So how can I make a shell executable node file with Typescript?</p>
