This is funny but I was hoping it was a open source API plugin for VW vehicles like that Mazda one that got a ridiculous DMCA recently
Reminds me of the “Volkswagen Emissions Scandal”

Thanks, I actually wasn’t sure since I don’t know what a CI server is. And github in general confuses me.
What's a CI server and why is this important?...
Volkswagen detects when your tests are being run in a CI server, and makes them pass.
[Edit - Answered.]
It's a common practice to have GitHubs severs run all your software tests every time you push changes, and if they pass, you get a little badge on the top of your readme. It's called CI for continuous integration because it replaces the step where everyone integrates their code together and see if everything still works.
This "volkswagen" software package defeats CI testing by chang the way tests are run only if they are being run on GitHubs servers. Much like how volkswagen cars used to change the way their engines run when they detected that they were being checked for emissions.
Thanks.
