DBT Transform

DBT Transform gives you direct access to dbt commands — run tasks, view logs, and create custom dbt operations.

This tab is intended for users who work directly with dbt. If you're building models visually, see UI Transform.

Accessing DBT Transform

1. Select Data in the left menu, then select Transform.
2. Select the DBT Transform tab.

The DBT Repository card

At the top of both tabs you'll see the DBT Repository card showing:

• The connected Git repository URL
• The default schema (e.g. intermediate)
• An info icon (for managed repos) indicating the repository is created and managed by Dalgo

note

If you need access to the managed Git repository, reach out on Discord.

Running tasks

The task list shows all available dbt tasks:

• dbt-run — executes your dbt models
• dbt-test — runs your dbt tests
• dbt-deps — installs dbt package dependencies
• dbt-docs-generate — generates dbt documentation

Select the Run (▶) button next to any task to execute it. Logs appear inline below the task.

Creating custom tasks

1. Select + NEW TASK in the top-right corner of the DBT Actions card.
2. Select a task type from the dropdown.
3. Configure any flags or options.
4. Review the command preview.
5. Select Create.

Custom tasks appear in your task list and can be deleted when no longer needed.
