Prefect Community

Hi all :wave: what happens if I register a flow with Github storage, where the storage points to a ref that's different from the ref I'm registering? In other words:

1. I have a `flow.py` flow with `storage=Github(..., ref='main')` 
2. I checkout a new branch `my-feature-branch`, and make some edits to the flow
3. I re-register the flow from this new branch, but still leave `ref='main'` 
...so when the Flow is run, the version registered to the Prefect backend is from `my-feature-branch`, but the agent running the flow will have pulled down the version from the `main` branch?

Thanks in advance!

Hey ! I believe there will be an error and you won't be able to run the flow but I could be wrong.

It will pull main, if the runtime pulled Flow deviates enough (the DAG) from the registered, it will error like Sylvain said
