snowflake-cli-labs

What it is and what it does

snowflake-cli-labs is a deprecated package that has been renamed and consolidated into snowflake-cli. When installed, it serves as a redirect to the current Snowflake CLI package, which is the command-line interface for interacting with Snowflake databases and resources. The package depends on snowflake-cli as its single runtime dependency, meaning installation pulls in the active, maintained CLI tool.

The package is marked as inactive in its development status, signaling that new development has moved to snowflake-cli. If you encounter this package in existing code or documentation, you should migrate to installing snowflake-cli directly instead. The repository remains active with recent commits, suggesting ongoing maintenance of the underlying CLI tool itself.

Use it for:

• Migrating legacy code that references snowflake-cli-labs to use the current snowflake-cli package
• Ensuring backward compatibility in environments where snowflake-cli-labs was previously pinned as a dependency
• Understanding the transition from the labs version to the stable Snowflake CLI release
