anyone have a similar thing they've done before? Want to "dry run" a prefect deploy (eg, verify the deploy doesn't throw errors with the yaml) as part of a pre-commit githook to main.

might fuck around and dig through the prefect source to see if it's possible to explicitly call parser methods as part of a custom script, if there's no command magic for this

<https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/cli/deploy.py#L636>

looks like somewhere around there, could check for a "dry run" flag passed via `options` and break prior to actual creations occurring/lock creations code behind an equivalent conditional

I'd also be interested in this <@U067G89T57H>. Currently we just deploy to staging and see if it blows up, but a precommit hook would be way better. Keep us posted.

took a stab at this <https://prefect-community.slack.com/archives/C04DZJC94DC/p1703323648975189?thread_ts=1703315549.728159&amp;cid=C04DZJC94DC|here>, could definitely be formalized if that's on the right track
