Cube CLI

The Cube CLI is a powerful tool that complements your dbt development workflow. While dbt handles data transformation and modeling in your warehouse, Cube CLI enables you to create semantic modeling layers on top of your dbt models. You can develop and validate semantic models to create business-friendly data interfaces, complete with metrics, dimensions, and access controls.
