Advanced Usage

A collection of more advanced use cases and how to approach them.

Using different Pkg environments for different experiments/runs

By default activity will take place in a default wavi_test Pkg environment.

You can set WAVI_ENV to create / use different environments for different experiments / runs!

For example:

export WAVI_ENV="mismip_run"

Please read here for more information about Julia environments.

Pulling code from a template to existing case directory

First, check the differences between the original template (template_bas/) and your current case directory (anewcase/):

diff --brief --recursive cases/template_bas/ cases/anewcase/

This will show you files you have updated in your case directory, since copying them over from the template.

You can partially rsync these files to only transfer updates.

For example, if we had changed template_bas/code/myfunction.jl, and wanted to move this change to anewcase/code/myfunction.jl:

rsync --inplace --no-whole-file cases/template_bas/code/myfunction.jl cases/anewcase/code/myfunction.jl

This should update myfunction.jl in anewcase with changes made in template_bas/code/myfunction.jl.

Overwriting existing destination file

Take some care with the approach, this will overwrite any changes you have made to cases/anewcase/code/myfunction.jl that do not appear in template_bas/code/myfunction.jl.
