`payu run` shouldn’t force changed to be tracked in git #328

Hi,

I’m trying to run many climate models as part of a pipeline, and compile the results. These models all need to be run from temporary directories, which are either not in a repository or are in a gitignored directory.

This gives me the warning The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files: temp_folder hint: Use -f if you really want to add them. hint: Turn this message off by running hint: "git config advice.addIgnoredFile false" Which then crashes payu due to non zero exit code from git.

I couldn’t figure out a way to disable this behaviour with config or with some flag. Is there something I’m missing?

Thanks, Tali

You want

runlog: False

which should be documented, but isn't.

So thanks for pointing that out, and sorry if that has been a PITA.

Hi Tali,

Setting runlog: false in your config.yaml should fix this.

Also, if you are running an ensemble of climate models you might find this approach useful, which clones each of the perturbations into a separate repo and branch https://github.com/aekiss/ensemble

snap!

Thanks all! That seems to have resolved that error.
