    Fascinating. The wikipedia page is for shebang so clearly you are right.

    But the wikipedia page also cites it being called hashbang – citing mostly o’reilly books.

    Now I’m intrigued, not that I have a lot of reason to talk about shell scripts, but I had never heard it called any other way.

    TIL, thanks!

      In college we were taught “hash exclamation, aka hash bang or shebang for short”.

      I do un*x shell since the 90s, before linux, maybe this is why I have always called it that way
