Hello guys. I am new to Prefect. My question is, how can I test my flow without even I need to

git push

first and then

prefect deployment run

? At the moment, what I know, I need to

git push

any update first, before I can

prefect deployment run.

If possible, I just want to try run my flow first without git push to my Github repo. Is this possible? Or this is the nature of Prefect where I need to

git push

first to try deploy?

hi @Ammar you can always just call your flow directly for example

import sys
from prefect import flow

@flow
def foo(): ...

if __name__ == "__main__":
  if len(sys.argv) == 1:
    foo()
  elif sys.argv[1] == "deploy":
    foo.from_source(...).deploy(...)

python filename.py

will run the flow

python filename.py deploy

will deploy the flow

How can I trigger the flow but trigger it using my local code, not from Github? Currently when I ran

prefect deployment run 'main-flow/rapid-deployment'

, it will take my code from my remote repo, not my local. I want it trigger from my local code.

yep: • docs • other example

Another weird thing is, when I used

tag

arg, it will create a duplicate dir of my current project with the tag as suffix.

but oftentimes serve is an easier way of doing the same thing

Currently I try use serve but it still take my remote repo to trigger.
