dagster-dg-cli

What it is and what it does

Dagster-dg-cli is a command-line utility for initializing and managing Dagster data pipeline projects. It sits within the broader Dagster ecosystem—a cloud-native data orchestrator designed for declaring data assets as Python functions and automating their execution and maintenance. The CLI provides project scaffolding, code generation, and development workflows to help teams set up Dagster projects locally before deploying to production.

The package depends on dagster core, dagster-cloud-cli, dagster-rest-resources, requests, and typer. It is actively maintained and released frequently. The tool is intended to streamline the early-stage development of Dagster pipelines, reducing boilerplate and setup friction for teams building data assets.

Use it for:

• Initialize a new Dagster project with standard structure and best practices.
• Generate boilerplate code for assets, jobs, and resources in a Dagster workspace.
• Set up local development environments for data engineers working on asset pipelines.
• Scaffold integration templates for connecting to external data tools and services.
