__about__.py "version" field automatically updated (unwanted behavior)
When editing code in VSCode, the pytorch_lightning/__about__.py file keeps getting automatically updated
__version__ = "1.5.0dev" -> __version__ = "20210827"

like in 5f4f3c5#r697656347
Does anyone know how to stop this from happening? Thanks!
After a few days of my investigation, it turned out that it's not from any extensions but from our script in .github/:

  
    
      pytorch-lightning/.github/prepare-nightly_version.py
    
    
         Line 13
      in
      83ce1bf
    
  
  
    

        
          
           print(f"prepare init '{_PATH_INFO}' - replace version by {now_date}") 
        
    
  


I locally confirmed that $ pytest in the project root directory will run all the scripts matching *.py except for those in the excluded directories, and thus it also runs the above file. Not sure why everyone doesn't experience this issue, but I'll submit a fix anyway.
