Default Value

None

Accepts

A url subparameter that includes the URL of the Git repository
A ref subparameter that includes the SHA of a commit in the Git repository

Definition

remote_dependency specifies the name of an external Git repository containing a LookML project that has files that you want to use in this project. When importing files from another project, you must create a manifest file and specify a project with the remote_dependency parameter. You can include multiple remote_dependency statements in the manifest file to import multiple files or from multiple projects.

remote_dependency has two subparameters:

url, which specifies the address of the external Git repository. This is the main URL of the repository, replacing the https:// with git://.
ref, which specifies the SHA of a commit in the git repository. Typically this would be the most recent commit, but it is not required to be.

Example

In a manifest file, add the “Zendesk Block” Git repository as a source to import files from:

project_name: "thelook" remote_dependency: { url: "git://github.com/llooker/zendesk_block.git" ref: "6a95679c92efa56243c17fb4d66c820cd4a8db03" }
