Getting Started: Copying a Workflow for the Regional Nesting Suite#

To begin working with the regional nesting suite, you first need to create your own copy of an existing workflow.

As introduced in the Global Modelling Practical, you can do this using the rosie command-line tool:

rosie copy u-by395

For help choosing the correct Monsoon3 service and finding the official setup guidance, see Using Monsoon3.

rosie copy u-by395/u-by395_lfric_monsoon3

Alternatively, you can check out the workflow instead of copying it:

rosie checkout u-by395

rosie copy u-by395/u-by395_lfric_monsoon3

What’s the difference?#

Copying a workflow

  • Creates an independent version in your ~/roses directory

  • Allows you to modify it freely without affecting the original

  • Recommended for this practical

Checking out a workflow

  • Links to the original (shared) workflow

  • Typically used for collaborative or trunk development

  • Changes may affect or depend on the main version

What should you do?#

For this hands-on exercise, go ahead and copy the workflow, just as you did in the global modelling practical. This will give you a clean, editable version to experiment with safely.
