Integration GitLab with SYNQ
This guide will show you how to securely connect SYNQ to your dbt source code by using GitLab’s deploy keys.
We need this information so we can extract information about code changes to your dbt models and link these to your data assets to make debugging dbt models easier.
To be able to finish this guide, you’ll need the following:
→ Access to GitLab
→ Admin Access to your dbt or Looker repository (only repo admins can add deploy keys).
⏱️ Estimated time to finish: 10 minutes.
We follow the least privilege principle and require read-only access limited to the selected repository that contains your dbt source code.
For example dbt Cloud GitLab
The full URL of the Git repository that contains your dbt or Looker project (we only support SSH URLs).
SYNQ, by default, analyses a master
and main
branches. If you prefer for us to process the code from any other branch, provide the name.
SYNQ, by default, looks for your source code in the root of the repository. If you store your code in a sub-directory, please provide us with a path (e.g., dbt/
if your dbt project uses dbt/
as a directory). In most cases, it is best to leave to use default to analyze everything in the repository.
Click Create to set up the Git integration and copy the Public key that SYNQ provides
read-write
permission, select the Grant write permissions to this key checkbox.A project deploy key is enabled when it is created. You can modify only a project deploy key’s name and permissions.
