- https://github.com/wrf-model/WRF The official repository for the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model.
- https://github.com/openwfm/WRF-Fire-merge A fork of WRF with master branch from wrf-fire added.
- Branches master and develop branches track WRF automatically
- Branch wrf-fire-track/master tracks https://github.com/openwfm/wrf-fire/tree/master automatically.
- Branch wrf-fire-track/submitted-to-3.3 tag submitted-to-3.3 is the last code submitted to WRF release (WRF 3.3 in 2011)
- Branch master-track-fire-submitted-to-3.3 is branch master with the fire model files replaced by those from wrf-fire-track/submitted-to-3.3, for comparison only - it will not compile. The branch has tags same as master with -fire-submitted-to-3.3 added: release_v3.3-fire-submitted-to-3.3 etc.

Examining and merging differences locally
Setup
Clone 3 copies of the repository and position them at the desired commits:
git clone ssh://git@github.com/openwfm/WRF-Fire-merge.git WRF-Fire-merge-develop git clone ssh://git@github.com/openwfm/WRF-Fire-merge.git WRF-Fire-merge-wrf-fire-track-master git clone ssh://git@github.com/openwfm/WRF-Fire-merge.git WRF-Fire-merge-baseline cd WRF-Fire-merge-wrf-fire-track-master git checkout wrf-fire-track/master; cd .. cd WRF-Fire-merge-develop git checkout develop; cd .. cd WRF-Fire-merge-baseline git checkout wrf-fire-track/submitted-to-3.3; cd ..
Running Opendiff
Merge differences from old file to new; the merge window on the bottom is initialized by the content of the second file (on the right) and it can be edited and saved:
opendiff WRF-Fire-merge-wrf-fire-track-master/wrfv2_fire/phys/module_fr_sfire_phys.F WRF-Fire-merge-develop/phys/module_fr_fire_phys.F
With a common ancestor, which will distinguish changes better and reduce hand-editing:
f=phys; opendiff WRF-Fire-merge-wrf-fire-track-master/wrfv2_fire/phys/module_fr_sfire_$f.F WRF-Fire-merge-develop/phys/module_fr_fire_$f.F -ancestor WRF-Fire-merge-baseline/wrfv2_fire/phys/module_fr_sfire_$f.F
etc.
