@Marvin do I lose flow versioning when using

prefect.yaml

? I don't see GitRepository connected to the flow when it's using

pull_steps

When using

prefect.yaml

, you do not inherently lose flow versioning; the YAML file contains instructions for preparing your flows for a deployment run, which are executed each time a deployment created within the folder is run via a worker. However, the system's awareness of flow versioning highly depends on how the platform is being used and the integrations set up to support version control. As for the connection of

GitRepository

to the flow when using

pull_steps

,

git_clone

is one of the main types of steps you can specify, which clones the provided repository on the provided branch. This suggests that Git integration is possible and can be managed through

pull_steps

in

prefect.yaml

, thus maintaining a connection with version control systems like Git. However, details on specific version tracking through this mechanism were not provided in the excerpts retrieved. Please refer to the official Prefect documentation or Prefect community resources for the most accurate and detailed guidance on these features. If you're experiencing a specific issue, it may be helpful to search GitHub issues related to Prefect, as other users might have faced similar concerns.

@Marvin is it the same for the gitlab-prefect module?

The information retrieved does not specifically address the

gitlab-prefect

module. However, it does indicate that Prefect supports Git-based version control platforms like GitLab, which means that using GitLab with Prefect for flow versioning is possible and supported. This generally enables redundancy, version control, and easier collaboration. Flow versioning is maintained when using Git-based storage options such as GitLab because these platforms inherently provide version control capabilities. When creating a deployment with git-based storage in Prefect, you can run

prefect deploy

from the root directory of your git repository, which suggests that Prefect can utilize repositories hosted on GitLab for flow code storage and versioning. For more specific information on integrating GitLab with Prefect, including any

gitlab-prefect

module functionalities, please consult the official Prefect documentation or community channels. If you encounter problems or have concerns, you might also benefit from searching for relevant discussions or issues on GitHub or GitLab.
