Generate Sources Command

Generates sources in the dbt project directory.

kbc dbt generate sources [flags]

The command must be run in a directory with a dbt project (i.e., containing dbt_project.yml) or its subdirectory.

The command creates a file for each Storage bucket in the models/_sources directory containing a dbt source for every table in the bucket.

See the introduction to dbt support for more information.
