Question

Hello again When I set flow storage to GitHub I don t understand what the desired behaviour is supposed to be 1 Does that mean that I do not need to keep my files locally In a way that prefect automatically creates a temporary directory pulls the scripts from the given repository with the credentials executes the scripts and then deletes the script again 2 Or do I still need to keep files locally Does then prefect pull the tasks automatically As far as I understand I do not need to re register the flow but I can change the tasks and then push them Plus I seem to have encountered a bug in the tutorial here <https docs prefect io core idioms file based html> gt At the very end of the very first example I ran into an error I follow everything until I need to register the flow with this command ```prefect register flow f flows my flow py p MyProject``` This results in this error ```ValueError Flow could not be deserialized successfully Error was ValidationError storage ref Field may not be null ``` Best wishes from Berlin

This experiment has evolved into this <https github com pnd dkuda prefect github flow blob main flows my flow py> I can register the flow with a request to the GraphQL API But I can t run the flow The UI shows me the tasks but it s not able to perform the tasks

Hi < David Kuda> that s correct your agent will pull the appropriate files from GitHub Intra task changes changes to the content of tasks won t require re registration of the Flow since each time it runs the flow will be pulled anew Changes to the structure of the flow dependency changes new tasks params etc will require a new registration Good catch on that bug I ve opened a PR to address that here
