Meltano

Does someone have a template of how to get started with Meltano on GitHub Actions?

The fine folks at Brooklyn Data Co have made this <https://github.com/brooklyn-data/meltano-on-github-actions> :smile:

Looked at that, didn't find it very convincing

How so? I can pull some folks into this thread if you have specific questions if that’s helpful.

We have used it a ton. One example of our workflow is here: <https://meltano.slack.com/archives/C04632W0HT2/p1676645574276749?thread_ts=1676579730.301579&amp;channel=C04632W0HT2&amp;message_ts=1676645574.276749|https://meltano.slack.com/archives/C04632W0HT2/p1676645574276749?thread_ts=1676579730.301579&amp;channel=C04632W0HT2&amp;message_ts=1676645574.276749>

I don't know a lot of python and didn't understand cookiecutter stuff. So that didn't work at first, started copy-pasting, but now 'meltano' the executable seems to be missing at some point.

If you're looking for a simple setup, I recommend taking a look at the new Jaffle Shop sample project: <https://github.com/meltano/jaffle-shop-template>

The workflow here is pretty simple: <https://github.com/meltano/jaffle-shop-template/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml>

And you really just need <https://github.com/meltano/jaffle-shop-template/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml|these lines>:

```  e2e-build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
        with:
          python-version: "3.10"
      - name: Install Meltano
        run: pipx install meltano
      - name: Install dbt and other tools
        run: meltano install
      - name: Extract and Load
        run: meltano run el
