Hi there folks, how you doing? Github Actions deployment question I'm trying to improve our data team workflow with Prefect and our flows are using

Github Storage

. I'm facing a problem when "developing" the flows. Since we're using Github Actions, flows are registered to a

development

project when a Pull Request is opened (and updated). But

Github Storage

will use

main/master

as ref argument. This works fine for production, but won't do while I'm on a development branch. The workaround I've found is to use a pattern like this: • Github Actions Workflow with different steps for Push/Pull Request: ◦ Push to main: generate project folder and register the flow ▪︎ I use

prefect register --project $project --path $path

to do this ◦ Pull Request: register the flow with disabled schedule in

development

project ▪︎ I use the

if __name__ = "__main__"

pattern in order to pass a dynamic

GITHUB_HEAD_REF

to Github Storage ref argument. It's working, but I'm thinking if there is way just use the

prefect cli

for this and avoid writing boilerplate code. The thread has some code snippets and more details!

Can you push the work-in-progress to a branch and just register the flow from that?

Note: This is a very opinionated workflow. It uses Poetry and relies on folder structure to automatic project creation.
