dbtdiff 0.2.2

Run dbt on changed models with model+ chaining.

dbtdiff

A CLI tool to run dbt only on changed models with model+ chaining.

Installation

pip install dbtdiff

Features

The default behavior is to run dbt build on all downstream models that have changed since the last commit, using the HEAD reference. It supports:

• Custom commands (e.g., dbt run, dbt test)
• Custom targets
• Custom number of downstream models to include
• Ability to compare to main rather than your last commit.

Usage

dbtdiff                        # Compare against last commit
dbtdiff -m                     # Compare against origin/main
dbtdiff -c run                 # Swap `build` for `run`, dbt run -t dev
dbtdiff -n 1                   # Run only run 1 downstream model
dbtdiff -t prod                # Use the prod target, eg: dbt build -t prod
dbtdiff -fr                    # Include --full-refresh in the dbt command
dbtdiff -ff                    # Include --fail-fast in the dbt command

All options can be combined, or fully qualified with --command, --target, --number, --main, --fail-fast and --full-refresh.
