DBT Lineage Viewer is a command-line tool for visualizing the upstream and downstream dependencies of a specified DBT model within a DBT project. It generates an HTML file containing a diagram of the dependency tree.

Install the package using pip:

pip install dbt-lineage-viewer

To use the DBT Dependency Viewer, please navigate into your dbt project folder and run the following command:

dbt-lineage-viewer <model_name> --max-depth <max_depth> --output <output_file>

Replace <model_name> with the name of the DBT model you want to analyze, <max_depth> with the maximum depth for the dependency tree, and <output_file> with the name of the output HTML file.

model_name: The name of the DBT model to analyze (required). max_depth: The maximum depth for the dependency tree (optional, default: 3). output: The name of the output HTML file (optional, default: "test.html").

Analyze the tbl_acquisition_funnel model with a maximum depth of 3, and generate an output HTML file named dependency_tree.html:

dbt-lineage-viewer tbl_acquisition_funnel --max-depth 3 --output dependency_tree.html
