Meaning of M in './manage_externals/checkout_externals -S'

[Min-Seok Kim]

Hi,

I downloaded CESM version 2.1.5.
To confirm a successful download of all components, I ran 'checkout_externals' with option '-S'.
And I can see 'M' character in the second column for cime component.
What does it mean ? Should I change something ?
Thanks in advance for your comment.

It says that you have locally modified the cime component, go to the cime directory
and run git diff to see what it thinks has changed. You can run git restore <filename> to
correct any corrupted files.

Thank you for your comment.
Actually, I modified several xml files in cime/config/cesm/machines in porting process.
In this situation, it will be not problem in operating CESM, right ?

You may want to run:
cd cime
git stash
cd ../
./manage_externals/checkout_externals cime
cd cime
git stash pop

To bring cime up to the latest while preserving your changes.
