Omni supports three methods for connecting to your Gitlab-hosted dbt repository:
  • SSH authentication — Uses a deploy key to connect Omni to your repository. This is the traditional method and requires configuring a deploy key in your Git provider.
  • HTTPS token authentication — Uses an access token to authenticate. This method is simpler to set up because it doesn’t require deploy keys.

Next steps

After you successfully connect your dbt repository, you need to:
  1. Configure your production dbt environment
  2. Sync dbt with Omni
  3. Set up Virtual Schemas. This isn’t required to use the dbt integration, but enabling Virtual Schemas before you start building in Omni avoids migrating later.
