build version in github actions doesn't match version built locally

[seb5g]

When building my project locally (on windows 10), I get the version as : 5.0.1.dev32+gdd533cb3

which is what is expected since I dit commits since the last tagging to 5.0.1

however when running my CI tests in github actions, the step where the package is build then installed is:

so version is: pymodaq-0.1.dev1+gdd533cb

the major 5 is missing and the dev is not incremented?
any ideas?

solved by adding this step before building:

      - name: Get history and tags for SCM versioning to work
        run: |
          git branch
          git fetch --prune --unshallow
          git fetch --depth=1 origin +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*

@seb5g you can also pass fetch-depth: 0 to actions/checkout.
