why is the dist folder commited to the repo??

Just out of curiousity...
Is there a specific reason why the dist folder is committed into the repo?? isn't dist a build artifact does it need to be in the repo??

I found a PR where it was actually updated via commit -> #160

Because it's a GitHub Action written in Typescript, to work, the executable code must be in JavaScript.

Note: all the PRs that change the code (and some dependencies) always contain an update of the dist folder.

Thank you for the time and apologies for such a stupid question. I should have realized it.
