You can write shell scripts in Javascript?!

In this video tutorial I first make an introduction to what shell scripts are, how the PATH variable is related to shell scripts and finally what is required to make a folder where you can store your custom shell scripts. I then show how to set the shell script file to use javascript and make a simple hello world proof of concept. I then build two small utility shell scripts. One that copies the current folder path to the clipboard. Then a second one that creates a .gitignore file in the current folder with node_modules inside it.
