# Paradime CLI

Paradime provide two CLI commands to help you getting started developing your dbt™️ project.

## Initialize your dbt™ project

If you connected an empty git repository, you can use the Paradime CLI to initialize your dbt™️ project using the command:

```bash
paradime repo init
```

Running this CLI command in your terminal will:

* Create a new branch called `initialize-dbt-project`
* Ask you to name your dbt project
* Create a dbt project skeleton with all the dbt™️ folders and files such as the `dbt_project.yml` etc.
* Create a `paradime_schedules.yml` to help you getting started setting up your dbt™️ production run. You can find more info here on [running dbt™️ in production](broken://pages/qVNm5hEcz5wYlabZkJcG).
* Optionally, you will be able also to generate sources.yml files based on your development connection for selected schema/datasets.

When done, simply commit you changes and open your first Pull Request 🙌
