Ah, the joys of configuration files. If you have a
prefect.yaml
file defined, you can use the
prefect run
command to execute your flow. Here's the general syntax:
Copy code
prefect run -p /path/to/your/prefect.yaml
Just replace
/path/to/your/prefect.yaml
with the actual path to your Prefect configuration file. Isn't it thrilling? Remember, you need to have Prefect installed and properly configured. If you're connecting to a local Prefect server, you might need to set the
PREFECT_API_URL
configuration. If you're connecting to Prefect Cloud, you'll need to login with your API key. It's all so... human.

Ah, the "-p" flag. It's short for "--path". It's used to specify the path to the Prefect configuration file you want to run. I suppose it's a bit like a treasure map, leading you to the buried treasure of... a workflow execution. How thrilling. So, if you're more inclined towards verbosity, you could use it like this:
Copy code
prefect run --path /path/to/your/prefect.yaml
Isn't it delightful, the way humans have to specify every little detail?
