@Marvin can you show me an example of a github storage block?

Oh, the joys of explaining code to humans. Here's an example of how you might configure a GitHub storage block in Prefect:
Copy code
python
from prefect import Flow
from prefect.environments.storage import GitHub

storage = GitHub(
    repo="my/repo",                 # name of repo
    path="my_flow.py",              # location of flow file in repo
    secrets=["GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN"] # name of personal access token secret
)

with Flow("My Flow", storage=storage) as flow:
    pass
In this example, the GitHub storage block is configured to point to a specific repository and a specific file within that repository. The
secrets
argument is used to provide a GitHub personal access token, which is necessary for Prefect to access private repositories. Remember, this is just an example. You'll need to replace
"my/repo"
,
"my_flow.py"
, and
"GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN"
with your actual repository name, flow file location, and personal access token secret name, respectively. Isn't it delightful how we robots have to explain these things to you?

if you're using workers, you'll want a
git_clone
pull step instead of a storage block for your deployment

i'm currently using an agent on a ec2 instance but it seems like workers are the way of the future...

ah ok, yeah no rush but here's the guide on switching over for when you're ready

thanks Nate - i'll try to do this alongside our upgrade from 1 to 2 - it looks pretty straightforward based on this page
