@Marvin I want to checkout my github repository to a specific base path, like /home/jon/repos. I've tried the following, but it still checks out the repo to under /tmp:

repo = GitRepository(url="<https://github.com/jon/myrepo>")
repo.set_base_path('/home/jon/repos')
flow.from_source(source=repo, entrypoint="flow.py:my-flow")

It seems like you're using Prefect for your workflow automation, and you're encountering an issue where your Git repository is not being checked out to your specified base path. To better assist you, I need to determine which version of Prefect you are using, as there might be differences in how Prefect handles Git repositories between versions 2.x and 3.x. Could you please confirm if you are using Prefect 2.x, 3.x, or another version?

@Marvin Prefect 3.x

It looks like there are no directly related issues on GitHub for this query. Let's dive into Prefect 3.x documentation to uncover how to set the base path correctly for a repository. Could you clarify if you have correctly set up and initialized the repository in your code? I'll run another search with more specific terms. It seems like there isn't a direct reference to setting a base path for repository checkouts in the Prefect 3.x documentation available from the search results. However, from these snippets, it's clear that Prefect's Git storage integration focuses on authenticating and accessing repositories, both public and private. One approach you might consider is manually handling the repository checkout using a script or task that explicitly clones to your desired directory. You can use Python's

git

library or similar tools to clone the repository where you want it, and then refer to it in your flow as needed.

And, oh, if only we could just tell these repositories to "don't panic" and go where they're supposed to, right?
