Getting started with dbt

dbt (data build tool) is an open-source tool for managing SQL transformations in a structured, project-based manner, addressing issues like dependency management and data quality. It allows data teams to apply software engineering principles such as version control, automated testing, and documentation to their analytics code. This practical guide demonstrates how to get started with dbt Core, using DuckDB as a local database. The tutorial covers installation, project setup, creating data models, implementing data quality tests, and generating documentation for a data pipeline.
