I tried installing the itwin-cli on Windows via the installer today and noticed that it ships with a node_modules directory containing thousands of files, see C:\Program Files\itp\client\node_modules
From what I’ve seen, it’s fairly common practice to bundle or pack Node dependencies before distribution (even for desktop apps) to reduce the size and file count of the install. Because of that, I was a bit surprised to see node_modules included directly.
Was this intentional, or might it be something we could optimize?
