which will prompt you for details including the URL of your git repository and the branch name. This way, you don't manually need to edit the deployment YAML or change calls to run_deployment
.
Here is the recommended approach from the Prefect documentation:
1. Use Git-based Storage: Prefect supports git-based storage options like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket which provide redundancy, version control, and easier collaboration.
2. Create a Deployment with Git-based Storage:
- Run prefect deploy
from the root directory of your git repository.
- During the prompts, select to create a new deployment, choose the flow code entrypoint, and name your deployment.
- Confirm that you want to store your flow code in a git repository by selecting "y" when prompted, and then provide the URL of your git repository and the branch name.
3. Test Deployments Linked to Your Branch: With the deployment set up to reference your branch, you can trigger runs in the Prefect cloud that will utilize the code in your specific branch.
More details can be found in the Prefect Deployment Storage Guide.
For automations without creating deployments, refer to Prefect Automations, although it may not directly address your need to test deployments linked to git branches.
Please note that setting up this git-based deployment will require your Prefect workers to have access to your git repository. Make sure to configure access appropriately so that workers can retrieve the flow's code to run it. If further customization or help is needed, it might be worth searching for relevant discussions or issues on Prefect's GitHub repository.benorbital
