This also means modifying your git pull command to pull the correct branch. A small change perhaps, but may be harder than just committing to main lol.
I had a similar problem with GitHub actions, it was hard to test without messing up the main repo history.
I would love to see alternatives/replacements to them that are less opinionated. If you aren’t ready to consign your entire library to destructive edits and file replacements then it really is hard to fit any arr program into your workflow. Because I have a few files I want to keep pristine and a few opinions on what gets downloaded, I’ve hit a snag every time I try to set up any arr program. Lidarr, for example, simply refuses to allow a root dir to be read only. I still have yet to get any up and running.
I just reinstalled Windows this week, saying no to everything, and I swear they did not ask me about OneDrive like before. My folders were set up as OneDrive with no opt out.
