How to DRY requires in a Node Express app?

I have a Node + Express app. In many of my files I am doing this at the top

const config = require('./config');
const Twit = require('twit');
const TwitConnector = new Twit(config);

Is there a way to DRY this, so I don't have to repeat this everywhere?

Is there a, best practice, pattern to make something like TwitConnector globally available so that I can use it anytime I need it?

Or maybe that's not a good idea and explicitly requiring it is the right thing to do?
