Getting started for developers

Development of the UFS Short-Range Weather App and its subcomponents such as the regional workflow is typically done on a users fork. A fork is a copy of the authoritative repository and allows the user to make code changes without affecting the original repository. To set up for development work, a user will need to:

1. Create a GitHub account

2. Create fork(s) via GitHub. It is generally good practice to create a fork of the repository where you are doing development work, and any parent repository. For example, if you are modifying the regional_workflow repository, create a fork of the regional_workflow and the ufs-srweather-app repositories:

• Login to your GitHub account
• Go to the authoritative repository website (e.g. https://github.com/ufs-community/ufs-srweather-app or https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/regional_workflow)
• Click on "fork" in the top right corner. You will see the repository in your GitHub account.
