working on deployment--should I copy the project's .meltano directory, or run a command in the target container to re-instantiate it?

@adam_roderick

.meltano

is in

.gitignore

for a reason, it's not meant to be transferable between machines 🙂 On the target container, just run

meltano install

and you should be good to go

thanks!

As of yesterday, that's now mentioned on the homepage as well: https://meltano.com/#meltano-init

Note that whenever you add a new plugin, it will be installed into your project's (gitignored)

.meltano

directory automatically. However, when you clone or pull an existing Meltano project from version control, you'll want to explicitly run

meltano install

before any other

meltano

commands to install (or update) all plugins specified in

meltano.yml
