What even does this package do? I can't understand how to get to the source and the readme is vague.

Usually I just check the github since most NPM modules link directly to it but the only thing I find find linked is this: https://npm.runkit.com/-/dist/index.js?t=1627966991920

The index file is:

    "use strict";
    Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true });
    exports.default = null;
The readme mentions that it's a test of this: https://github.com/parzh/create-package-typescript

> Recklessly create TypeScript npm packages left and right with this single command
