[Question] Why add .js and .d.ts files to source control?

See original GitHub issue

Is there a reason why the *.js and *.d.ts files are added to the source control inside the bundle-folder? Build artifacts should usually not be stored inside a repository.

If these files get added to the .gitignore, it would lead to a smaller repository size and cleaner commits.

I assume it’s because this allows you you to directly use this repository as npm package.
