ComfyUI & Stable Diffusion: The Ultimate Resource Hack - 1 Minute to Sync Models and Nodes - ComfyUI & Stable Diffusion：资源黑客终极指南 - 1分钟同步模型和节点

Stop Wasting, Start Syncing! - 停止浪费，开始同步！

Fed up with the hassle of double-dipping into model installations? Dive into our 60-second hack to sync ComfyUI with your local Stable Diffusion WebUI, sparing you the agony of redundant setups. We'll show you how to effortlessly glide through model, node, CLIP, VAE, and Lora configurations, turning your dual UI woes into a thing of the past. Plus, for path-confused AI artists, we've got the config file right here, ready for a quick tweak and roll.

Ready to unleash the power of your AI art tools without the clutter? First, hunt down that hidden gem in your ComfyUI folder—the 'extra_model_paths.yaml.example' file. Change its file name to ‘extra_model_paths.yaml’, and boom, you're in the game. Fire up your favorite text editor, or if you're feeling commando, dive into the terminal (Mac/Linux) or command prompt (Windows). Tweaking this configuration file to harness the magic of Stable Diffusion WebUI models, nodes, CLIP, VAE, and Lora, all from the cozy confines of your ComfyUI. The specific configuration file can refer to the following example.
# Rename this to extra_model_paths.yaml and ComfyUI will load it

# config for a1111 ui

a111:
