What happened?

the types are missing or not discoverable by typescript (v3.9.6)

Minimal test case to reproduce the problem

https://github.com/sw-yx/sw-yx/blob/f6a2a5f7b0f654384c402645217896cd8573247c/scrape.ts#L1

What did you expect to happen?

the types should just work

What the problem might be

i’m honestly not sure. the @octokit/rest package.json file points types accordingly to "dist-types/index.d.ts" and the file is there so i dont know why this doesnt work but it doesn’t 😦
