That's it!
Example email to users
Should you want to clone the git repository for OpenIFS, here's how: 1. If you don't have an account on the ECMWF website go to www.ecmwf.int/login and self register. 2. Once you have a userid, you need to set the password on the website (called 'stash') hosting the repositories. If you don't have one, or have forgotten, simplest way of doing this is to go to the login page: https://software.ecmwf.int/stash/login and click on 'Can't access your account?'. This will forward an email to you with a web address to reset (or create) the password. 3. Once the password is set, test it by logging in to the above link. You should see the OpenIFS project listed. 4. To clone on your workstation is then easy: mkdir ecmwf cd ecmwf git clone https://software.ecmwf.int/stash/scm/oifs/openifs.git which will prompt for username & password. Then you'll get a complete clone of the repository. You can then create branches and push them back to me if you want to!
