Is there a way to use rally without setting up git and S3?  
What I mean during track development I do not want it to be committed to git and also I just want to have data locally into in s3 for now. How do I do it?  
At least how I can use it without S3.

Sure thing.

For tracks without git please check the [--track-path](https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/command_line_reference.html?highlight=track%20path#track-path) cli flag.

You can find an example also in the [creating a track from scratch tutorial](https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/adding_tracks.html?highlight=track%20path#creating-a-track-from-scratch). In this example you'll see that it's not necessary to store `source-file` of `corpora` in a bucket (or http/https location), you can also reference them locally.
