Gitlab

Elementary connects to the code repository where your dbt project code is managed, and opens PRs with configuration changes.

​

Recommended: Connect using Elementary Gitlab App

Navigate to the Account settings > Environments and choose the environment to which you would like to connect the dbt project code repository.

Simply Click the blue button that says “Connect with Elementary Gitlab App” and follow the instructions. In the menu that opens up later on, select the repository where your dbt project is stored, and if needed the branch and path to the dbt project.

​

Alternative: Create a Gitlab project token

If connecting the Elementary Gitlab App isn’t an option, you can connect using a token managed by your team instead.

Repository connection settings

After the authentication, you need to fill in the following details:

• Repository - The full name of the code repo.
• Optional Environment base branch - If you want Elementary to open PRs in a target branch different than default, detail the branch name here.
• Optional Project path - If your dbt project isn't on the root directory of the repo, detail it's path here.
