CLI scripts for Github actions

Automatically deploy Lightdash projects

Follow the lightdash documentation to know how you can add this Github action to your DBT Github repo to automatically deploy your DBT changes into Lightdash

Use CLI config instead of ENV vars

If you prefer to authenticate on the CLI using the lightdash/config.yaml file, just copy the full content of that file into a CLI_CONFIG secret

and add the following step before Lightdash CLI deploy

      - name: Create config file 
        env: 
          config: ${{ secrets.CLI_CONFIG }}          
        run:  |
          mkdir -p $HOME/.config/lightdash
          echo -e "$config" > $HOME/.config/lightdash/config.yaml

Both options are compatible (env vars have priority)
