Hi, In getting started page, in "Creating a Repository" section, the video shows to create a repo from the caravel template. However, when you do this, tags don't come, only main and other branches if you select the branch option. In efabless youtube video titled as “chipIgnite update & AI designed ASIC competition – 22:48”, it states that we have to use mpw-9c tag for caravel_user_project repo for Chipignite shuttle. So, is creating a repo from the template still valid? Do we continue with main branch for chipignite shuttle tapeouts? https://efabless.com/getting-started

I think you'll be ok with either. The template will always give you the latest tag

thanks @Matt Venn in older MPW's, those tags were important, since they include specific PDK and Openlane commits, in main branch of caravel_user_project, in makefile PDK and openlane versions are: SKYWATER_COMMIT=f70d8ca46961ff92719d8870a18a076370b85f6c export OPEN_PDKS_COMMIT?=78b7bc32ddb4b6f14f76883c2e2dc5b5de9d1cbc export OPENLANE_TAG?=2023.07.19 MPW_TAG ?= mpw-9d in mpw-9c: SKYWATER_COMMIT=f70d8ca46961ff92719d8870a18a076370b85f6c export OPEN_PDKS_COMMIT?=e6f9c8876da77220403014b116761b0b2d79aab4 export OPENLANE_TAG?=2023.02.23 MPW_TAG ?= mpw-9c I will continue with the main branch, there are version differences for openlane and open_pdks, hope that won't cause any problem

just confirmed with Jeff - use the template or main

@Matt Venn thank you for clarification
