So what is it?

This repository was a curated list of resources, libraries, and tools related to webpack, a widely used JavaScript module bundler. Webpack takes many separate JavaScript files and other assets and packages them together for use in web browsers. The repository itself has very little content remaining. The README simply states that the list has moved to the official webpack documentation website. Anyone looking for the actual collection of links should visit the webpack.js.org site rather than this repository.
