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:
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.
  • 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 🙌
