Quickly create a native Typescript runtime environment.

npm init -f
npm -D i typescript@4
npm -D i @types/node@12 @types/vscode@1
npm -D i ts-node

npm -g i https://github.com/zhmhbest/AttachConfiguration
attach package.json "main='src/index.ts'"
attach package.json "scripts>build='tsc -p ./'"
attach package.json "scripts>watch='tsc -watch -p ./'"
attach package.json "scripts>start='ts-node src/index.ts'"

mkdir src
mkdir .vscode
touch ./tsconfig.json
touch ./src/index.ts
touch ./.vscode/launch.json
