    The package @actions/github provides a hydrated Octokit.js client. Octokit.js is the SDK of GitHub and contains several subpackages like @octokit/rest and @octokit/graphql to interact with the REST or GraphQL API.

    The Github API provides a lot of fluidity in being able to access and mutate data within git programmatically. Github provides developers with both a traditional REST API and a more modern GraphQL API to interact with. However because of the increased flexibility of GraphQL APIs, there is some functionality that is available in GraphQL that is not available in REST.

    I plan to build a Gatsby site, hosted on Gatsby Cloud that will source markdown files from the Gatsby GitHub Account docs folder. The markdown files within the release-notes will be sourced and then rendered to a single page. I'll be using @octokit/graphql and a few of Gatsby's data handling methods: sourceNodes and createNode.

    Life is easier with static types, at least for me. If you use TypeScript, GitHub provides the @octokit/webhooks-types package with official type definitions for all of GitHub's webhooks event types and payloads.
