how to run a shell script from in typescript

To run a shell script from Typescript, you can make use of the child_process module, specifically the spawn function. Here's an example code snippet:

index.ts
import { spawn } from 'child_process';

const script = spawn('sh', ['path/to/script.sh']);

script.stdout.on('data', (data) => {
  console.log(`stdout: ${data}`);
});

script.stderr.on('data', (data) => {
  console.error(`stderr: ${data}`);
});

script.on('close', (code) => {
  console.log(`child process exited with code ${code}`);
});

In the spawn function, the first argument is the command to run (in this case, sh to run the shell script), and the second argument is an array of command line arguments to pass to the command (in this case, just the path to the shell script).

The code then sets up event handlers for the stdout, stderr, and close events emitted by the child process. The stdout and stderr events will capture any output generated by the script while it's running, and the close event will be emitted when the script completes.
