Hello,

I'm trying to add some change to typescript file and want to npm run watch, but it fails with the following error

npm run watch

> code-snippets@3.0.0-beta.1 watch
> gulp watch

[13:36:35] Requiring external module @babel/register
C:\workspace\git\code-snippets\gulpfile.babel.ts:1
import * as fs from 'fs';
^^^^^^

is there something I missing?

How to reproduce:

1. git clone the repository to my local pc
2. run npm install
3. run npm run watch

Thank you

Glad you could get this resolved! I believe that hardlinks in Windows should work fine instead of symlinks if you are able to create them.
