See our full Data CI/CD Overview

Connecting your Git provider is just one part of setting up our CI/CD tool. Make sure you've checked out the full documentation linked above first.

Setup

In GitLab, generate a Project access token for the specific project you want to connect to Metaplane. The token should have the maintainer role and api permissions.

Copy your secret token from GitLab, then navigate to the Metaplane CI/CD page and select "Get started".

If you've got multiple dbt projects, select the one you're setting up CI/CD for (the one you generated your secret token for), select the "GitLab" option, and press "Next".

Finally, provide us with the generated token and select the GitLab project representing your dbt connection, then hit "Connect".

Self-Hosted

If you host your own instance of GitLab, toggle that option and provide your GitLab domain name.

Finish Configuring CI/CD in Metaplane

Once you've got the Metaplane-GitHub app installed, you can finish configuring CI/CD following these steps.
