Trying to use@octokit/types with vite/astro? You might run intothis kind of error

This is because of how vite.js resolves packages.@octokit/types doesn't export any javascript file, so vite says

I don't recognise you, can't let you in.

You need to add a dummymain file in the package's package.json to make it happy. This is how patched package.json of@octokit/types should look like
