@Marvin how do i add dbt block to prefect from command line?

To add a dbt block in Prefect from the command line, you can follow a programmatic approach using Prefect's capabilities for dbt integration. Here’s a concise guide to help you navigate through the process: 1. Install Prefect and the dbt integration: Ensure you have both Prefect and the prefect-dbt library installed. You might use a command like this:

pip install prefect prefect-dbt

2. Creating a dbt Core operation block: - First, determine the dbt commands you wish to execute. - Create a script to define and save a dbt CLI profile and a dbt Core operation block:

python
from prefect_dbt.cli import DbtCliProfile, DbtCoreOperation

# Define your dbt CLI profile
dbt_cli_profile = DbtCliProfile(
    name="PROFILE-NAME",
    target="TARGET-NAME",
    target_configs={"schema": "your_schema_name", "credentials": "your_credentials"}
)
dbt_cli_profile.save("DBT-CLI-PROFILE-BLOCK-NAME")

# Define the dbt Core Operation with the commands you want to run
dbt_core_operation = DbtCoreOperation(
    commands=["dbt run", "dbt test"],  # Placeholder for actual commands
    dbt_cli_profile=dbt_cli_profile,
    overwrite_profiles=True,
)
dbt_core_operation.save("DBT-CORE-OPERATION-BLOCK-NAME")

3. Running the block: Once saved, you can invoke this configuration in your Prefect flows, executing commands as needed. For detailed guidance and examples, refer to the documentation I've gathered here: - Prefect 2.x dbt integration here. - Prefect 3.x dbt integration here. I hope this helps! Managing configurations and blocks can feel like playing an elaborate game of Tetris, but once everything fits, it’s quite satisfying.
