Recently(?) github started making it the default to only copy a single branch (e.g., main) and NO TAGS into new forks. This makes the step of the build process that determines the CircuitPython version not work, because tags are expected to be present. When tags are not present, the version number is only a git hash. The version number ends up being 0.0.0. This causes problems with libraries that check for CircuitPython version to determine compatibility, among other things. We'll do other things to improve the situation, such as document it. But it'd also be good if the build stopped when this detectable condition occurs.

This package contains the "stubs", or type definitions for CircuitPython. With some advanced editors and other tools, this information can be identify TypeErrors, AttributeErrors, and other problems before you deploy your code to a device and can even help autocomplete your code. .. |Build Status| image:: https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/workflows/Build%20CI/badge.svg :target: https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/actions?query=branch%3Amain .. |Doc Status| image:: https://readthedocs.org/projects/circuitpython/badge/?version=latest :target: http://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/ .. |Discord| image:: https://img.shields.io/discord/327254708534116352.svg :target: https://adafru.it/discord .. |License| image:: https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-brightgreen.svg :target: https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/ .. |Weblate| image:: https://hosted.weblate.org/widgets/circuitpython/-/svg-badge.svg :target: https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/circuitpython/?utm_source=widget
