After running the init command, your great_expectations directory will contain all of the important components of a local Great Expectations deployment. This is what the directory structure looks like:
great_expectations.ymlcontains the main configuration of your deployment. The expectations directory stores all your Expectations as JSON files. If you want to store them somewhere else, you can change that later.- The
plugins/directory holds code for any custom plugins you develop as part of your deployment. - The
uncommitted/directory contains files that shouldn’t live in version control. It has a .gitignore configured to exclude all its contents from version control. The main contents of the directory are:uncommitted/config_variables.yml, which holds sensitive information, such as database credentials and other secrets.uncommitted/data_docs, which contains Data Docs generated from Expectations, Validation Results, and other metadata.uncommitted/validations, which holds Validation Results generated by Great Expectations.
