Is there anyway to install elementary-dbt package from the repo directly

Yes, you can install the Elementary dbt package directly from the GitHub repository instead of using dbt Hub. There are a couple of approaches: Option 1: Install via

packages.yml

using a git reference In your

packages.yml

, specify the package directly from the

dbt-data-reliability

repository (note: this is the correct repo for the dbt package, not the

elementary

CLI repo):

packages:
  - git: "https://github.com/elementary-data/dbt-data-reliability.git"
    revision: <version-or-commit-hash>

[Slack discussion] Option 2: Install a forked version If you've forked the repository and made custom changes, you can point to your fork:

packages:
  - git: <your-fork-https-address>

[Slack forum] Important Note on Repositories Elementary has two separate repositories: • dbt package →

<https://github.com/elementary-data/dbt-data-reliability|dbt-data-reliability>

— used in

packages.yml

• CLI/Python package →

<https://github.com/elementary-data/elementary|elementary>

— installed via

pip

When installing via git in

packages.yml

, make sure you're referencing

dbt-data-reliability

, not the

elementary

CLI repo. Using the wrong repo will result in a

No dbt_project.yml found

error. [Slack discussion] 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @elementary.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
