How to get GEES model files

The GEES model files are available from its GitHub repository. Get the files down to your computer using one of the following ways.

After installing Git locally on your computer, clone the GEES repository using this command

git clone https://github.com/Global-Projection-Model-Network/GEES ***FOLDER***

where you replace ***FOLDER*** with the desired target folder.

Cloning the repository using Git creates a link between your local folder and the GitHub repository, and makes it extremely easy and convenient to sync the files.

Discouraged: Download a zip archive

Alternatively, you can use the old-school method of downloading and unzipping an archive file from the repository website. Use the green Code button, and select Download ZIP.

With a plain vanilla download, you have to manually repeat the process every single time you need to sync the files.
