Description

There are quite a few bugs in the linting steps (forked over from repository template):

1. All the steps use the main branch as comparison; for TBD, this means practically nothing is checked, as it compares main to main, and finds that there are no new changes, and so it does not run the steps.
2. The above step also means that branches created from main will suffer, as bugs fall through, they will be caught only in non-main branches.
3. There were already some file format/linting issues when we forked from repository template.
