Hello @wild-endeavor! 👋 I'm Dosu, a friendly bot here to help you while we wait for human maintainers. I can assist you with bugs, answer your questions, and guide you on becoming a contributor. So, while we're waiting for them, let's see what we can do together!

Based on the information provided, it's not entirely clear what the exact error message or issue is when the registration tries to parse the git directory. Could you please provide more details about the error message or the behavior you're experiencing? This will help in diagnosing the issue more accurately.

Regarding the registration process in the Flyte codebase, it's handled through GitHub Actions, as defined in the provided YAML file. This process involves several steps, including generating git tags, building Docker images, publishing Flyte binary and component images, releasing Helm charts, and releasing manifests. The interaction with git directories is mainly through the 'actions/checkout' action, which checks out the repository's code into the GitHub Actions runner's workspace. This allows subsequent steps in the workflow to operate on the codebase. The 'git.createRef' function is used to create new git tags in the repository. You can find more details in the .github/workflows/create_release.yml file.

As for the https://github.com/gone2808/flyte-train repository, without more specific information about its configuration or setup, it's difficult to determine if there's anything in it that could be causing this issue.

Lastly, without more details about the error or issue, it's hard to say how the Flyte codebase handles parsing of git directories during the registration process, or if there are any known issues or bugs in the 'actions/checkout' action or the 'git.createRef' function that could be causing this issue.

Please provide more details about the error message or issue, and any specific configuration or setup in the https://github.com/gone2808/flyte-train repository. This will help in diagnosing and resolving the issue more effectively.

shortly problem
pyflyte register ./ is detected root as the previous folder(/mnt/data1/hainq) which will make the timeout if the parent folder has a large file.
pyflyte register ./ should detect root as current pwd folder(mnt/data1/hainq/flyte-train)
