  • I have read the contribution docs, and understand what's expected of me.

Link to the page on docs.getdbt.com requiring updates

https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/commands/clone

What part(s) of the page would you like to see updated?

It would be good to specify which resource types are cloned and which are not.

Here's a rule of thumb:

  • if dbt creates a database object for the node during dbt build, then it will be included in dbt clone
  • if dbt does not create a database object for the node during dbt build, then it will not be included in dbt clone

Cloned:

  • snapshot
  • model - incremental
  • model - materialized_view
  • model - view
  • model - table
  • seed

Not cloned:

  • model - ephemeral
  • source
  • analysis
