The dbt Cloud CLI, powered by dbt Cloud, allows you to develop and run dbt commands against your dbt Cloud development environment from your local command line.
dbt enables data analysts and engineers to transform their data using the same practices that software engineers use to build applications.
Get started
This package installs the dbt Cloud CLI, which allows you to run dbt commands against your dbt Cloud development environment from your local command line.
Understanding dbt
Analysts using dbt can transform their data by simply writing select statements, while dbt handles turning these statements into tables and views in a data warehouse.
These select statements, or "models", form a dbt project. Models frequently build on top of one another – dbt makes it easy to manage relationships between models, and visualize these relationships, as well as assure the quality of your transformations through testing.
dbt Cloud is the fastest and most reliable way to deploy dbt. Develop using the dbt Cloud CLI or browser-based IDE, test, schedule, and investigate data models in a unified web-based UI. It also offers a hosted architecture. Learn more about dbt Cloud features and try one of the quickstarts.
