Connect with managed repository
If you don't already have a Git repository for your dbt project, you can let dbt Cloud manage a repository for you. Managed repositories are a great way to trial dbt without needing to create a new repository.
info
We do not recommend using a managed repository in a production environment. You will not be able to use git features like pull requests which are part of our recommended version control best practices.
To set up a project with a managed repository:
- From your Account settings in dbt Cloud, select the project you want to set up with a managed repository. If the project already has a repository set up, you need to edit the repository settings and disconnect the existing repository.
- Click Edit for the project.
- Under Repository, click Configure repository.
- Select Managed.
- Enter a name for the repository. For example, "analytics" or "dbt-models."
- Click Create.
- dbt Cloud will host and manage this repository for you.
- If in the future you choose to host this repository elsewhere, you can export the information from dbt Cloud at any time.
- Refer to Move from a managed repository to a self-hosted repository for more information.
