# Introduction
This is a collection of smaller programs and scripts to display "inline" in
[Adafruit Learning System][learn] guides. Subdirectories here will generally
contain a README with a link to their corresponding guide.
This is a collection of smaller programs and scripts to display "inline" in [Adafruit Learning System][learn] guides.
## Testing
Adafruit is an Open Source company. To support Adafruit, please consider buying products at [adafruit.com](https://www.adafruit.com/).
The code here is partially checked by GitHub Actions against Pylint (for
CircuitPython code) or the Arduino compilation process.
Starting in 2023, guides using a specific Adafruit board will be placed in a subdirectory with that product name to reduce the number of directories under the main directory. If you are creating a new guide, please check if your Adafruit board falls into one of these groups and make your project code directory in the appropriate subfolder.
Code in directories containing a file called `.circuitpython.skip` will be
skipped by Pylint checks.
## Issues
Code in directories containing a `.[platformname].test` file, such as
`.uno.test` will be compiled against the corresponding platform.
Issues with guides should be reported in the guide itself under "Feedback? Corrections?"
This is a work in progress.
## Make Your Own Guides
This repo is only for Adafruit approved Learning System Guides. If you'd like to write your own guide, see [Create your own content with Adafruit Playground!](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-playground-notes).
## Contributing and Testing
For details on contributing for Adafruit approved guides, see the guide [Contribute to the Adafruit Learning System with Git and GitHub](https://learn.adafruit.com/contribute-to-the-adafruit-learning-system-with-git-and-github) and [Contribute to CircuitPython with Git and GitHub](https://learn.adafruit.com/contribute-to-circuitpython-with-git-and-github/github-personal-access-token).
