error: 'models/checkpoints/put_checkpoints_here' is beyond a symbolic link
fatal: Unable to process path models/checkpoints/put_checkpoints_here
Cannot save the current worktree state

Similar issue to #761 but for my models folder. I have 200 gigs and don't wish to have to have the same files twice taking up 400 gigs of space.

How can I fix this?

You should not use symoblic link.
Use extra_model_paths.yaml.

(Copy and modify it. Don't rename it.)

Perfect, as that is exactly what I needed as I didn't know how to set it up for ComfyUI but have it set for a1111 where all my old stuff is at.

Thank you. :)

You should not make models as symoblic link.
Because it is part of ComfyUI repository file.
But you can convert custom model directory to symbolic link.

In other words any folder not a part of the list it knows I can convert to a sym link?

In other words all these from various nodes I can symlink?
