To have Git remember the credentials for you, do this

git config --global credential.helper cache                  # (activate memory cache)
git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=3600' # (timeout in seconds)```

Fork and checkout a branch

If you intend to modify the repository, you should checkout a fork of this project rather than checking out the repository directly. When you have made a fork, you can set this repository as your origin using:

git checkout --track origin/release-4.3

(At the time being, it is adviced that you use branch release-4.3)

To make an executable using CLion or another IDE

Go to the directory containing the seismic-forward git repository

clion CMakeLists.txt

To make an executable using cmake

Go to the directory above the directory containing the seismic-forward git repository

cd dir-above-seismic-forward

Make directory where you want the project and executable to be build

mkdir my-proj-dir

Go to this directory and run run_cmake.sh to set up compiler and library dependencies

cd my-proj-dir
../seismic-forward/run_cmake.sh

Generate the executable

make

Run seismic-forward

The executable can be run directly once an XML model file/job file has been created. The only input data needed is an Eclipse-grid with Vp, Vs and Rho.

cd directory-with-Eclipse-grid
path-to-executable/seismic_forward my_job_file.xml

Run the tests

To run all tests do

../seismic-forward/TestScript.pl

To run a single test do

../seismic-forward/TestScript.pl case=1

NBNB! If more than one angle is involved, I think that results for the first angle only is checked. This is the way NRLib currently works.
