Usage notes

The snow dbt deploy command uploads local files to a temporary stage and either creates a new object or updates an existing dbt project object by making a new version. A valid dbt project object must contain two files:

  • dbt_project.yml: Standard dbt configuration file, which must specify the profile to use.

  • profiles.yml: A dbt connection profile definition referenced in dbt_project.yml. profiles.yaml must define the database, role, warehouse, and schema. You can leave the remaining values empty, as in the following example:

    <profile_name>:
    outputs:
      dev:
        account: ''
        database: <database_name>
        role: <role_name>
        schema: <schema_name>
        type: snowflake
        user: ''
        warehouse: <warehouse_name>
    target: dev
    
    Copy

Examples

  • Deploy a dbt project named jaffle_shop:

    snow dbt deploy jaffle_shop
    
    Copy
  • Deploy a project named jaffle_shop from a specified directory and overwrite the dbt project object if it already exists:

    snow dbt deploy jaffle_shop --force --source /path/to/dbt/directory --profiles-dir ~/.dbt/
