1. Github: status and future plans Katie Osterried Image: NASA

2. Outline Current status of Github usage Available tools on Github and their usefulness Pull requests and testing with Jenkins Issues Wiki Future plans Github: status and plans C2SM 2

3. Current usage of Github by the COSMO consortium C2SM-RCM organization (collection of private git repositories on Github) Used to distribute code to members of C2SM in Switzerland Used on a trial basis by the consortium to evaluate Github for the last 18 months or so Git repositories include: Cosmo-prerelease Used to merge the developments from the POMPA priority project into the official cosmo version Fieldextra Extpar Github: status and plans C2SM 3

4. Github tools: Pull Requests Actively being used by the consortium developers for: code review testing before merging into official versions (including automated testing with Jenkins) Allows for easy collaboration between developers located in different institutions Comment directly in code Attach pictures or links in comments Opinion: definitely adding value for cosmo developers Github: status and plans C2SM 4

5. Extpar pull request Github: status and plans C2SM 5

6. Github tools: Issues Issues are being actively used in all of the consortium codes hosted on Github to: Report bugs and communicate workarounds/solutions Request new features Useful features: Can assign issues to individuals Issues can be resolved and closed with a commit message Opinion: definitely adding value for cosmo developers Github: status and plans C2SM 6

7. Cosmo-prerelease issues list Github: status and plans C2SM 7

8. Github tools: wiki Each repository on Github comes with a wiki (itself a git repository) Useful for documenting compilation information, dependencies, manuals, release notes, etc. Used very actively by some cosmo developers (see Fieldextra wiki), but mostly not really used Time-consuming to make wiki pages Opinion: Not a clear benefit for cosmo developers (but definitely for users) Github: status and plans C2SM 8

9. Fieldextra wiki page: Planning Github: status and plans C2SM 9

10. Future plans with Github Transition from trial basis (C2SM-RCM organization) to more permanent basis (COSMO-ORG organization) github.com/COSMO-ORG COSMO-ORG organization is administrated by Xavier Lapillonne from MeteoSwiss (Xavier.Lapillonne@meteoswiss.ch) Already contains official version of Int2lm, CALMO-MM, and terra-standalone Plans to move Fieldextra and Extpar after their next releases Cosmo- TBD (Uli?) Github: status and plans C2SM 10

11. COSMO-ORG Github: status and plans C2SM 11
