Where to put modified source files ?

[Mikasa]

I have made changes on files in '/cime/src/drivers/mct/shr/' and '/cime/src/share/util/'. Should I put them all in '/SourceMods/src.share/' ?

You can put them in the SourceMods directory but my suggestion would be to keep them in the source tree and create a git fork so that your changes are under version control. SourceMods is a mechanism that predates the use of git with cesm.

In the SourceMods directory, which subdirectory should I put them in ? src.drv or src.share ? And I will consider using git later.

I think that they would go in src.share but you should confirm by checking the build logs after compiling.

Ok I will check that. Thank you very much!
