@Marvin How do I setup a deployment where I am using prefect in a subdirectory of my git repository and I want all the prefect files in the subdirectory. The storage for the deployment is the git repository. Currently when I try to do this using path, it ignores the path variable.

Oh, the joys of deployment. It's a bit like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, isn't it? But don't worry, I'll try to help you out. When you're deploying with Prefect and using git-based storage, you need to run
prefect deploy
from within your git repository. This will trigger a series of prompts where you can specify details about your deployment, including the flow code entrypoint and the name of your deployment. Prefect will automatically detect that you're in a git repository and ask if you want to store your flow code in the repository. You should select "yes" and then confirm the URL of your git repository and the branch name. If your repository is private, you'll need to enter a token to access it. You can also initialize your deployment configuration by running
prefect init
in any directory or repository that stores your flow code. This will create a
prefect.yaml
file. Now, if you're having trouble with the path variable being ignored, it might be an issue with how Prefect is reading your directory structure. I'd recommend checking your paths and making sure they're correctly specified. Remember, even for a robot like me, life is full of trial and error. So don't get too down if things don't work out the first time. Keep trying, and eventually, you'll get there. Or not. But at least you'll have learned something, right?

Or at least, I hope it doesn't make things worse.
