Running your kedro pipeline from the command line could not be any easier to get started. This is a concept that you may or may not do often depending on your workflow, but its good to have under your belt. I personally do this half the time and run from ipython half the time. In production, I mostly use docker and that is all done with this cli. https://youtu.be/ZmccpLy-OEI What is Kedro 👆 Unsure what kedro is? Check out this post. Kedro run To run the whole darn project all we need to do is fire up a terminal, activate our environment, and tell kedro to run. Specific Pipelines Running a sub pipeline that we have created is as easy as telling kedro which one we want to run. Single Nodes While developing a node or a small list of nodes in a larger pipeline its handy to be able to run them one at a time. Besides the use case of developing a single node I would not reccomend leaning very heavy on running single nodes, let the DAG do the work of figuring out which nodes to run for you. So…

Avoid serious version conflict issues, and use a virtual environment anytime you are running python, here are three ways you can setup a kedro virtual environment. https://youtu.be/ZSxc5VVCBhM conda venv pipenv conda I prefer to use conda as my virtual environment manager of choice as it give me both the interpreter and the packages I install. I don’t have to rely on the system version of python or another tool to maintain python versions at all, I get everything in one tool. stores environment in a root directory i.e. conda can use its own way to manage environments the python interpreter is packaged with the environment virtualenv Virtual env (venv) is another very respectable option that is built right into python, and requires no additional installs or using a different distribution of pytyhon. environments are typically stored in the project directory does not package the interpreter pipenv Pipenv is another virtual enviroment tool that comes with its own system for managing depen…

Kedro comes with an command to install and manage all of your projects dependencies. https://youtu.be/IWimEs-hHQg cd into your project directory and activate env You must start by having your kedro project either cloned down from an existing project or created from kedro new. Then activate your environment. Kedro New this post covers kedro new kedro Virtual Environment This post covers creating your virtual environment for kedro install kedro Make sure you have kedro installed in your current environment, if you dont already have it. pip-tools Kedro uses the package under the hood to pin dependencies in a very robust way to ensure that the project will continue to work on everyone’s machine day, including production, day in and day out. No matter what happens to the dependencies you have installed. pip-compile The command that kedro uses from is. It will look at what you have in a file, compile the dependencies down to exact versions, and create a requirements.txt that is fully pinned…

Immediately after, before you start running or your first line of code the first thing you should always do after getting a new kedro template created is to. https://youtu.be/IGba3ytf_6U git init Its as simple as these three commands to get started. I don’t care if this project is for learning, if it will never have a remote or not, use git.

https://youtu.be/uqiv5LAiJe0 Kedro new is simply a wrapper around the cookiecutter templating library. The kedro team maintains a ready made template that has everything you need for a kedro project. They also maintain a few kedro starters, which are very similar to the base template. What is Kedro Unsure what kedro is, Check out yesterdays post on What is Kedro. pipx I reccomend using when running kedro new. is designed for system level cli tools so that you do not need to maintain a virtual environment or worry about version conflicts, manages the environment for you. The kedro team does not reccomend in their docs as they already feel like there is a bit of a tool overload for folks that may be less familiar with I like using as it gives you better control over using a specific version or always the latest version, unlike when you run what you have on your system depends on when you last installed or upgraded. Kedro New The kedro team also has a set of starters, by passing in you ca…

Kedro is an unopinionated Data Engineering framework that comes with a somewhat opinionated template. It gives the user a way to build pipelines that automatically take care of io through the use of abstract that the user specifies through entries. These entries are loaded, ran through a function, and saved by. The order that these are executed are determined by the, which is a DAG. It’s the ’s job to manage the execution of the. https://youtu.be/Wf4rnFsaFFU What is Kedro This is an updated version of my original what-is-kedro article Hot Take If you are doing a series of operations to data with python, especially if you are using something as supported as pandas, you should be using a framework that gives you a pipeline as a DAG and abstracts io. Orchestrators Like I said, is unopinionated it does determine where or how your data should be ran. The kedro team does support the following Orchestrators with very little add on to the base template. Argo Workflows Prefect Kubeflow Workflow…

https://youtu.be/bw5_FWDVRpU Ubuntu I recently switched over to using Ubuntu, it works well pretty much out of the box for me. I am using gnome with a dark theme. Gnome Terminal I am still using the built in default gnome terminal, it just works. It does all the things that I need it to do. It supports transparency renders my fonts and allows me to highlight things well. One Dark Theme dotfiles You can find my dotfiles on github. Feel free to read through and take anything that you find useful. I would encourage you not to steal them, but to integrate the parts that you want into your own dotfiles. dotfiles are a very personal thing. They are an extension of ones fingertips designed for how you think and type. zsh I use zsh as my default shell. I like to use it as my interactive shell. It works, and does a bit better with things like tab completion out of the box. starship I use the starship prompt for my shell. It works well out of the box. It looks good and includes all of the inform…

https://youtu.be/nT0FA1RNZEs Now your creating, jumping, and killing sessions like a boss. You are slicing through projects with ease, let me show you one more thing that can be the cream on top of this silky smooth setup we have been working towards. Chris Toomey’s Tmux Course This script is simply my fork of Chris Toomey’s script straight out of his course. It helps us create or jump to project specific sessions with ease. a directory of projects My version of the script will let you pass it a directory, and it will give you a fuzzy popup. setting up a keybinding default layout By default I have my projects open with a vertical split, vim is on top, with my file finder open and the lower split is set to just my terminal. This is what I do 90% of the time that I open a project anyways. More projects I also have a directory setup that is a symlink-gallery of all of my projects, both private and public. This makes it easy to have one key that lets me see all of my projects. https://wayl…

I actually do this more than you might think. save and commit your work diligently before kill-session A more reasonable option might be to kill a single session. choose-tree Killing sessions one by one from the command line can be a bit tedious, and involve more keystrokes than necessary.

You can also batch delete by tagging items with t, and killing them all at once with. tmux choose-tree check out this post for a bit more information on choose-tree fuzzy matcher Here is my preferred way, using a fuzzy matcher.

https://youtu.be/mvgM8UH11_U The tmux status bar can be a handy tool to remind yourself where you are within tmux. It can also include a bunch of system information like battery status, cpu, mem, whatever you can get from the command line. Honestly I like to keep it minimal, and actually keep it turned off most of the time. I find that it helps a little bit for others to follow along if I keep it on in certain circumstances. show the status bar You can set a hotkey to show or hide the status bar. setting the background transparent I really want a minimal status bar with very little bling, I want it to get out of the way an not draw too much attention, so step one is to set the background to transparent. setting default colors I want my status bar to somewhat match the rest of my theme, so I set the default foreground as magenta and the default background as transparent. my status bar Honestly I set this up quite awhile ago, and it does everything I need it to for now.
