2. On your CIRCUITPY device create an .git file with the following content:

   gitdir: <path-to-your-usual-place>\.git
   

3. On your CIRCUITPY device run

   git checkout main
   git reset --hard HEAD
   

Instal libraries using CircUp

1. Install CircUp
   • For Linux

     cd ~
     python -m venv .circuitpython
     source .circuitpython/bin/activate
     pip3 install circup
     

   • For Windows

     cd %USERPROFILE%
     python -m venv .circuitpython
     %USERPROFILE%\.circuitpython\Scripts\activate.bat
     pip3 install circup
     

2. Run circup install -r requirements.txt on your CIRCUITPY device

To erase CIRCUITPY

CircuitPython includes a built-in function to erase and reformat the filesystem.

1. Connect to the CircuitPython REPL using Mu or a terminal program.
2. Type the following into the REPL:

import storage
storage.erase_filesystem()
