These comes default with the user that created the Snowflake account.\n- The password for your SYSADMIN user.\n\nRun the following command to get started with the interactive CLI.\nNote - the CLI will print the SQL queries it is planning to run and confirm with you before it makes any changes.\n\n```bash\nuv run target-snowflake --initialize\n\n# Alternatively using Meltano CLI\nmeltano invoke target-snowflake --initialize\n```\n\nThe CLI also has a \"dry run\" mode that will print the queries without executing them.\n\nCheck out the demo of this [on YouTube](https://youtu.be/9vEFxw-0nxI).\n\n### Configure using environment variables\n\nThis Singer target will automatically import any environment variables within the working directory's\n`.env` if the `--config=ENV` is provided, such that config values will be considered if a matching\nenvironment variable is set either in the terminal context or in the `.env` file.\n\n## Usage\n\nYou can easily run `target-snowflake` by itself or in a pipeline using [Meltano](https://meltano.com/).\n\n### Executing the Target Directly\n\n```bash\ntarget-snowflake --version\ntarget-snowflake --help\n# Test using the \"Carbon Intensity\" sample:\ntap-carbon-intensity | target-snowflake --config /path/to/target-snowflake-config.json\n```\n\n## Developer Resources\n\n### Initialize your Development Environment\n\n```bash\ncurl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh # or see https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/\nuv sync --all-extras --dev\n```\n\n### Create and Run Tests\n\nCreate tests within the `target_snowflake/tests` subfolder and\n then run:\n\n```bash\nuv run pytest\n```\n\nYou can also test the `target-snowflake` CLI interface directly using `uv run`:\n\n```bash\nuv run target-snowflake --help\n```\n\n### Testing with [Meltano](https://meltano.com/)\n\n_**Note:** This target will work in any Singer environment and does not require Meltano.\nExamples here are for convenience and to streamline end-to-end orchestration scenarios._\n\nYour project comes with a custom `meltano.yml` project file already created.\n\nNext, install Meltano (if you haven't already) and any needed plugins:\n\n```bash\n# Initialize meltano within this directory\ncd target-snowflake\nuvx meltano install\n```\n\nNow you can test and orchestrate using Meltano:\n\n```bash\n# Test invocation:\nmeltano invoke target-snowflake --version\n# OR run a test `elt` pipeline with the Carbon Intensity sample tap:\nmeltano run tap-carbon-intensity target-snowflake\n```\n\n### SDK Dev Guide\n\nSee the [dev guide](https://sdk.meltano.com/en/latest/dev_guide.html) for more instructions on how to use the Meltano SDK to\ndevelop your own Singer taps and targets.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmeltanolabs%2Ftarget-snowflake","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmeltanolabs%2Ftarget-snowflake","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmeltanolabs%2Ftarget-snowflake/lists"}
