The bottom panel of the Code IDE is where you run, preview, and validate your work. It has four tabs (Terminal, Data Explorer, Lineage, and Catalog), plus the Defer to Production selector and the Run and Lint buttons on the right. This section covers running and previewing; the Lineage and Catalog tabs are covered under Explore Your Project.

​
The Run button

Click Run to run dbt™ against the file you have open, without typing a command. The dropdown gives you the full set of node operations:
  • Run, Run upstream, Run downstream, Run full refresh
  • Build, Build upstream, Build downstream
  • Test, Test upstream, Test downstream
  • Run dbt deps
  • Run Python
Output streams into the Terminal tab. You can also type dbt™ commands directly, with autocompletion.

​
The tabs

Terminal

Run dbt™, Git, and shell commands with dbt™-aware autocompletion.

Paradime CLI

Initialize a dbt™ project and generate sources from the terminal.

Data Explorer

Compile SQL and preview model results without a full dbt™ run.

Defer to Production

Compile and preview against production state instead of rebuilding upstream models.

Lint

Format SQL with SQLFluff and YAML with Prettier.

Scratchpad

Gitignored scratch files for quick SQL and dbt™ experiments.
