First time developer instructions

Introduction

To get access to this page, first time developers must:

• sign up for a GitHub account if they don't already have one
  • they should use their Met Office email address, ideally prefixing their GitHub user name with mo-
• request access to the MO organisation in GitHub via ServiceNow if they don't already have access and wait for approval (approval typically occurs within 24 hours)
• request to be added to this repository (Emma Hogan has the role of Admin and can add first time developers to this repository)

First time developer instructions

• Set your username in git, commit e-mail address in git, and commit e-mail address in GitHub (your commit e-mail address may already be set; pay particular attention to step 6)
• Add a new SSH key to your GitHub account
• Clone the repository:

  cd <path_to_where_you_want_to_clone_to> 
  git clone [email protected]:MetOffice/CMEW.git 
  cd CMEW
  

• Install the pre-commit git hooks defined in the .pre-commit-config.yaml file, where <version> is the version of ESMValTool to use:

  module load scitools/community/esmvaltool/<version>
  pre-commit install
  

  (The pre-commit git hooks enables certain checks to automatically run every time a git commit command is performed)
