@Marvin If I have multiple prefect.yaml files in my project, can I deploy all the flows in all of these files in one command?

Yes, you can deploy all the flows across multiple

prefect.yaml

files in your project. To achieve this, you need to use the

--all

flag with the

prefect deploy

command. This flag will deploy all the deployments specified within the

prefect.yaml

files. If your

prefect.yaml

files are not in the root directory, you can specify each file using the

--prefect-file

CLI argument. For instance:

bash
prefect deploy --prefect-file path/to/first_file.yaml --all
prefect deploy --prefect-file path/to/second_file.yaml --all

Each command will deploy all the flows defined in the respective YAML file. You can repeat this for each YAML file you have. For more details, you can refer to the Prefect documentation.

@Marvin This requires me to specify a single file and run the command multiple times. Is there is a way in Prefect natively to do this without running the command for each file?

Currently, Prefect does not natively support deploying flows from multiple

prefect.yaml

files in one command without specifying each file individually. This limitation is highlighted in a GitHub issue where users have requested the ability to merge multiple deployment YAML files for better maintainability. As a workaround, you could write a script to iterate over your YAML files and run the

prefect deploy

command for each one, but Prefect itself does not provide a built-in way to handle multiple files in a single command. Keep an eye on the Prefect GitHub repository for any updates or enhancements related to this feature request.
