can I skip this step if I run this in my flow .py ?

Hi @Eric - yes! Those are two variations of the same command, one for programmatic registration and the other for Cli registration

ah great okay thank you. is it safe to just keep the registration in the flow.py and then I guess do git commit, push, then run the ptyhon code (thus registering the flow)?

Yup, that should be fine 👍

thank you for answering ona weekend!

Yup, so long as the structure of your flow doesn’t change, you won’t need to reregister with intra-task code changes.

any thoughts why my flow just stays in the flow run scheduled state?

Definitely - what are the labels attached to your flow? You can see these from the details tile on the Flow page.

There it is - go ahead and remove that github-flow-storage label

is it bad practice to not use labels at all? also how did this label get set? i didnt set it

Not bad practice at all - labels are a way of organizing flows and separating environments, and as such they're completely optional. This one was set because certain storage and environments automatically set labels on registration.

can i override that so it defaults to None?

You can set labels on your agent using the

--l

flag: you can view all the agent options here: https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/cli/agent.html#agent

so my agent will pick it up?

You can just remove it from the flow page and your agent should pick it up

going forward can i set the label to None in code so I dont have to remember to remove the label manually in the UI?

Hi @Eric - sorry for the delay here! You can remove default labels by passing

add_default_label=False

to your storage call, like this:

flow.storage = GitHub(
    repo="some_repo",
    path="flows/my_flow.py",
    secrets=["github_token"],
    add_default_labels=False,
)
