Add PINT autofitter option #60

Closed tcromartie closed 1 month ago

tcromartie commented 1 month ago

PINT does a good job of picking the best fitter automatically. You can still specify the specific fitter (e.g. DownhillGLSFitter) in the YAML fitter key, but this lets you also specify Auto instead. (I know the else doesn't need to be there but I feel like it's clearer to read?)

This is a straightforward change, and fully backwards compatible, so I'm going to go ahead and merge it.

As an aside, I wonder why the GitHub Action-based tests that Joe set up when we created this repo don't seem to be running on this PR? Maybe because the target branch is NG20 instead of main?
