[BUG]: No Significant Difference with @octokit Submodules about octokit.js

[gr2m]

If bundle size is a concern, but you still want the convenience of the types for all REST API endpoints, I'd suggest to use @octokit/request: https://bundlephobia.com/package/@octokit/request

If that is not enough beause you need plugins, advanced authentication, or graphql, I'd use @octokit/core: https://bundlephobia.com/package/@octokit/[email protected]

Both are a lot smaller than octokit: https://bundlephobia.com/package/[email protected]

The purpose of this package is to bundle all best practices for Octokit modules.

If you want to lower your bundle size, I would use the packages separately, and only include the ones you actually use.

If you have any specific improvement points, feel free to do a follow up PR

@wolfy1339 , thank you for the feedback.

How do you install individual submodules nowadays? I tried to install just the auth-app and rest submodules, but everything else came along too.

I used:

npm i @octokit/auth-app
npm i @octokit/rest

and nothing has changed

[wolfy1339]

The @octokit/rest package doesn't have any actual code, it is simply a wrapper of different plugins to make a best practices package for interacting with the GitHub API.

It is normal that there are many packages, as things are split into different plugins to enable extensibility.

tks @wolfy1339, I'll go ahead and close this issue. 🚀
