.dbtignore

You can create a .dbtignore file in the root of your dbt project to specify files that should be entirely ignored by dbt. The file behaves like a .gitignore file, using the same syntax. Files and subdirectories matching the pattern will not be read, parsed, or otherwise detected by dbt—as if they didn't exist.

Examples

.dbtignore

# .dbtignore

# ignore individual .py files
not-a-dbt-model.py
another-non-dbt-model.py

# ignore all .py files
**.py

# ignore all .py files with "codegen" in the filename
*codegen*.py

# ignore all folders in a directory
path/to/folders/**

# ignore some folders in a directory
path/to/folders/subfolder/**
