how to fix octokit.authenticate() is deprecated - node.js

Question

I am starting the ginit module but getting the error like this:
=> octokit.authenticate() is deprecated. Use "auth" constructor
option instead.
How can I fix it?
my code
module.exports = {
getInstance: () => {
return octokit;
},
setGithubCredentials : async () => {
const credentials = await inquirer.askGithubCredentials();
octokit.authenticate(
_.extend(
{
type: 'basic',
},
credentials
)
);
},
}

Maybe you code from this article: https://www.sitepoint.com/javascript-command-line-interface-cli-node-js/
And my solution is below
const Octokit = require("#octokit/rest");
const Configstore = require("configstore");
const pkg = require("../package.json");
const _ = require("lodash");
const CLI = require("clui");
const Spinner = CLI.Spinner;
const chalk = require("chalk");
const inquirer = require("./inquirer");
const conf = new Configstore(pkg.name);
module.exports = {
getInstance: () => {
return global.octokit;
},
getStoredGithubToken: () => {
return conf.get("github.token");
},
setGithubCredentials: async () => {
const credentials = await inquirer.askGithubCredentials();
const result = _.extend(
{
type: "basic"
},
credentials
);
global.octokit = Octokit({
auth: result
});
},
registerNewToken: async () => {
const status = new Spinner("Authenticating you, please wait...");
status.start();
try {
const response = await global.octokit.oauthAuthorizations.createAuthorization({
scopes: ["user", "public_repo", "repo", "repo:status"],
note: "ginits, the command-line tool for initalizing Git repos"
});
const token = response.data.token;
if (token) {
conf.set("github.token", token);
return token;
} else {
throw new Error(
"Missing Token",
"GitHub token was not found in the response"
);
}
} catch (err) {
throw err;
} finally {
status.stop();
}
}
};

Try something like:
const Octokit = require('#octokit/rest');
module.export = {
getInstance({username, password}) {
return Octokit({
auth: {
username,
password,
},
});
}
}
The PR introducing the auth property shows some other examples of specifying credentials.
