Introduction
In this quickstart guide, you’ll learn how to create a codespace and be able to execute the dbt build
command from it in less than 5 minutes.
dbt Labs provides a GitHub Codespace template that you (and anyone else) can reuse to create a complete dbt environment with a working and runnable project. When you create the codespace, the dev container creates a fully functioning dbt environment, connects to a DuckDB database, and loads a year of data from our fictional Jaffle Shop café, which sells food and beverages in several US cities. The README for the Jaffle Shop template also provides instructions on how to do this, along with animated GIFs.
Prerequisites
- To use the dbt command-line interface (CLI), it's important that you know some basics of the terminal. In particular, you should understand
cd
,ls
, andpwd
to navigate through the directory structure of your computer easily. - You have a GitHub account.
