My team is using Git storage with prefect cloud. We plan to have 2 projects: 1 for dev and 1 for prod. We would like the flows in the dev project to all pull from a “dev” branch of their respective git repos, and the flows in the prod project to pull from a “prod” branch. What’s the standard pattern for doing this? My understanding is that the storage is defined when we register the flow to prefect cloud. Is this correct? If so, is there a way to parameterize the branch_name argument when we use when we initialize <https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/storage.html#git|Git storage>? Thanks in advance for any help!

I don’t think I have a satisfying answer here for now. I think it does require a re-registration and Git storage can’t quite be parameterized like that. I think Orion addresses this funkiness. You might find more information in <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/discussions/4042|this> Github discussion. Have you seen it?

I haven’t seen that! Thanks for sharing

Just curious, how would we accomplish this in Orion?

Or something similar, basically just want to make it so we can keep making changes to a flow in our dev environment w/o affecting the prod flow

It would be through the <https://orion-docs.prefect.io/tutorials/deployments/|Deployment>Spec. And they would be decoupled from the Flow object
