# shebang

Most executable files should only use one of the following shebangs:

- `#!/bin/sh`

- `#!/bin/bash`

- `#!/usr/bin/make`

- `#!/usr/bin/env python`

- `#!/usr/bin/env bash`

NOTE: For `#!/bin/bash`, any of the options `eux` may also be used, such as `#!/bin/bash -eux`.

This does not apply to Ansible modules, which should not be executable and must always use `#!/usr/bin/python`.

Some exceptions are permitted. Ask if you have questions.
