Will it be possible to run dbt-gloss without a precommit ?

[didia]

Hello, I like dbt-gloss but because of an issue with pre-commit (No great support for mono-repo), I am unable to use it.

Will it be possible to run dbt-gloss without using it as a standalone linter ?

Thank you for maintaining the library.

Hello @didia ,

We'd like to implement a way to run the tool without pre-commit (like sqlfluff), but it might take some time.

Why aren't you able to use it in a mono repo? Pre-commit has built-in support to scope hooks only for certain paths/files. For example, if your dbt project is nested under the analytics/transform/dbt directories, for each hook you could define the files with the following regex:

 - id: check-script-has-no-table-name
   files: ^analytics/transform/dbt/.*
