prefect.deployments.steps.pull

Core set of steps for specifying a Prefect project pull step.

git_clone

Clones a git repository into the current working directory.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
repository str

the URL of the repository to clone

 required
branch str

the branch to clone; if not provided, the default branch will be used

 None
include_submodules bool

whether to include git submodules when cloning the repository

 False
access_token str

an access token to use for cloning the repository; if not provided the repository will be cloned using the default git credentials

 None
credentials optional

a GitHubCredentials, GitLabCredentials, or BitBucketCredentials block can be used to specify the

 None

Returns:

Name Type Description
dict dict

a dictionary containing a directory key of the new directory that was created

Raises:

Type Description
subprocess.CalledProcessError

if the git clone command fails for any reason

Examples:

Clone a public repository: 

pull:
    - prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
        repository: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect.git

Clone a branch of a public repository: 

pull:
    - prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
        repository: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect.git
        branch: my-branch

Clone a private repository using a GitHubCredentials block: 

pull:
    - prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
        repository: https://github.com/org/repo.git
        credentials: "{{ prefect.blocks.github-credentials.my-github-credentials-block }}"

Clone a private repository using an access token: 

pull:
    - prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
        repository: https://github.com/org/repo.git
        access_token: "{{ prefect.blocks.secret.github-access-token }}" # Requires creation of a Secret block
Note that you will need to create a Secret block to store the value of your git credentials. You can also store a username/password combo or token prefix (e.g. x-token-auth) in your secret block. Refer to your git providers documentation for the correct authentication schema.

Clone a repository with submodules: 

pull:
    - prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
        repository: https://github.com/org/repo.git
        include_submodules: true

Clone a repository with an SSH key (note that the SSH key must be added to the worker before executing flows): 

pull:
    - prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
        repository: git@github.com:org/repo.git
