A shebang is a unix-based marker (often the #! character sequence) placed at the beginning of a script indicating which interpreter should be used to run that script.

Examples of shebangs feature the #! sequence followed by the interpreter command:

  • #!/bin/bash
  • #!/bin/sh
  • #!/usr/bin/env ruby

Hahaha.

I am quite a good programmer to put this openai bot together in a discourse plugin in less than two days consider 8 hours (most of the dev time) was spent trying to fix a limitation in specifying gem dependencies in the Discourse plugin code base.
