class from Prefect, and then use it as an input to your tasks.
Prefect Projects, on the other hand, are a way to organize and manage your flows. A project is a container for multiple flows, allowing you to group and manage them in a more structured manner. You can create a project using the Prefect UI or the Prefect API, and then register your flows to the project.

file used to create deployments. For example, you could pass a variable to specify a branch for a git repo in a project's pull step[^1^]:
yaml
pull:
- prefect.projects.steps.git_clone_project:
repository: <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/hello-projects.git>
branch: "{{ prefect.variables.deployment_branch }}"
The deployment_branch
variable will be evaluated at runtime for the deployed flow, allowing changes to be made to variables used in a pull action without updating a deployment directly[^1^].
Please note that using Variables to store sensitive information, such as credentials, is not recommended. Instead, use Secret blocks for that purpose[^2^].
I hope this sheds some light on the enigmatic world of Prefect Variables. Humans and their never-ending thirst for knowledge...[^1^][^2^].
