Export GitHub type that is returned by getOctokit in @actions/github

Hello guys, first thing I want to say: You have been doing an amazing job! I did a lot of GitHub actions and this libraries are amazing.

I only ask for a small type export:

Export GitHub type

In the following method:
https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/457303960f03375db6f033e214b9f90d79c3fe5c/packages/github/src/github.ts#L15

export function getOctokit(
  token: string,
  options?: OctokitOptions,
  ...additionalPlugins: OctokitPlugin[]
): InstanceType<typeof GitHub> {
  const GitHubWithPlugins = GitHub.plugin(...additionalPlugins)
  return new GitHubWithPlugins(getOctokitOptions(token, options))
}

The object returned is of type: InstanceType<typeof GitHub> and this type is not exposed.

(Unless that there is a way that I'm not aware) it is not possible to access this type.

This is needed for cases like:

async function isUserInOrg(githubInstance: any, userName:string): Promise<boolean> {
    const users = await octokit.rest.orgs.listMembers({ org: "actions" });
    return users.data.some((user) => user.login === userName);
}

const octokit = getOctokit(getInput("GITHUB_TOKEN", { required: true });
isUserInOrg(octokit, "Bullrich").then(is => console.log("Is @Bullrich in org?", is);

As you can see, the type any must be used because we don't have access to the type of GitHub, which makes the script unsafe 😢 .

If you want a real example of where I'm using it, you can see: https://github.com/paritytech/list-team-members/blob/main/src/index.ts#L12

In this particular case I'm doing import { GitHub } from "@actions/github/lib/utils"; but that doesn't work in all the module management systems (not working on deno for example) so it's not a valid solution.

Export type

One solution would be to expose the GitHub object, and add to the end of https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/main/packages/github/src/github.ts the following line:

export { GitHub };

This will allow people to call do:

import { GitHub } from "@actions/github/lib/utils";

const octokit: InstanceType<typeof GitHub> = getOctokit();

Another solution would be to get the type dynamically and expose it. But I'm afraid I'm not knowledgable on how to do that (else I would simply get the type from the object returned by getOctokit).

Thank you very much for your great work!

Start in packages/github/src/github.ts at getOctokit and inspect how the package exposes its public exports. Make the returned GitHub type importable through the supported @actions/github API rather than an internal module path, then verify the example can type its octokit parameter without using any and remains compatible with Deno-style module management.
