using jQuery in TypeScript with Visual Studio Code

If you are building a TypeScript project in Visual Studio Code you will get intellisense and that is cool. But if you want to add jQuery into your ts file the intellisense shows you errors. So how to use it?

/// <reference path="typings/jquery/jquery.d.ts" />

That's it. Your done.
