First time developer instructions

First time developers

• Set your:
  • username in git (ignore step 1 / the comment about Git Bash)
  • commit e-mail address in git (ignore step 1 / the comment about Git Bash)
  • commit e-mail address on 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/climate-assessment-workflow.git
  cd climate-assessment-workflow
  

• 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)
