Hey all, new to prefect ^_^ I’m trying to make use of the github block - does anyone know where i can find documentation on this? (more specifically, how i can go from the block being set up in the UI to referencing this within a task)

In Prefect 2.3 you can reference the GitHub block in a Prefect Deployment or when making a deployment from the CLI. I don’t believe you can use it in a task. What are you trying to use it for? Anna just released this blog post yesterday that shows how to create the GitHub read-only storage block in code and then reference from the command line when creating a Deployment.

ohh i see my goal was: • read from our dbt repository • run commands based on these files so i should do this in the deployment file, then assume the files are available in the task & flows?

That’s a good question. I don’t know that you can grab that path. I believe it’s temporary. If you want to reference a file, you can upload it to GitHub and reference it with a relative link in your flow code. If you want to write out an artifact use an absolute path on your local machine or something like prefect-aws’s uploading functionality to send the artifact to an AWS Bucket.

ooh okay - i’ll take a look at this! thank you
