Hello, taking this issue. Created an account and did the steps indicated in the link you've provided. Deploying the docs as we speak.

[antonyip]

Cool. Let me know how it goes.

Works well as intended. Are we going to add a domain for this or is this good?

[antonyip]

• is it possible to hand over control to me or its just static?
• will have to talk to mdao people for the domain..
• what are the steps required for me to update the page?

@antonyip Sorry I just got back now, pretty busy schedule.

The site I sent was just static so I'll remove it for now.

We can proceed with continuous development by linking this repository to Netlify and then creating a netlify.toml file wherein it is indicated there which subdirectory will only be deployed to Netlify. With continuous development, the website will update with the latest commit.

I forgot to add,

the command dbt docs generate will be the command in place so that it will be run everytime a commit has been pushed to master.

@antonyip sent a request to link harmony_dbt as a git repo in Netlify for issue 103

@drakedanner could you handle this? I’m not mdao admin so can’t follow up.
