@Marvin I'm trying to setup a deployment, I'm running into issue. I created a local process work pool named "local" but there's no worker available. When I

prefect worker start --pool "local"

I get:

ValueError: `PREFECT_API_URL` must be set to start a Worker.
An exception occurred.

It seems you're encountering an issue because the

PREFECT_API_URL

environment variable is not set. This variable is necessary for starting a worker as it tells the worker where to find the Prefect API. Here's how you can resolve this issue: 1. Set `PREFECT_API_URL`: You need to set this environment variable to point to your Prefect server. If you're using Prefect Cloud, you can log in using

prefect cloud login

, which will automatically set the necessary environment variables for you. For a self-hosted instance, ensure that the

PREFECT_API_URL

is set to your server's API URL. 2. Check Configuration: Make sure your local process work pool is properly configured. You can manage and view your work pool configurations through the Prefect UI, CLI commands, or the REST API. For more detailed guidance on configuring these settings, you can refer to the following resources: - Prefect Settings and Profiles - Work Pools in Prefect If you're still having issues, ensure that your Prefect version and setup align with the documentation, as there could be version-specific nuances.

why does it prompts me for github username and password?

When you're prompted for a GitHub password during a deployment, it typically means that your deployment is trying to access a private GitHub repository without proper authentication. Here's how you can resolve this: 1. Use Personal Access Tokens (PATs): Instead of using a password, create a GitHub Personal Access Token with fine-grained permissions. This token should have access to the repositories you need. You can generate one by going to GitHub under Your Profile -> Developer Settings -> Personal access tokens. 2. Store the Token Securely: Use Prefect's Secret block or credentials block to securely store your GitHub token. You can create these blocks through the Prefect UI or via code. Reference this block in your deployment configuration. 3. Update Deployment Configuration: Ensure that your deployment's

prefect.yaml

or Python deploy method references the Git credentials block or Secret block. This will allow Prefect to use the token for accessing the repository without prompting for a password. For detailed instructions and examples, you can refer to the Prefect documentation on storing flow code. By following these steps, you should be able to run your deployment without being prompted for a GitHub password.

Ahh you're right, I had this:

# applies to all deployments
pull:
  - prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone: &git_clone
      repository: <https://github.com/blah/prefect-demo>

Is there a way to not pull and just use the codebase from where my prefect.yaml file is sitting
