Connect dbt and GitHub with AI

Redbird AI automates the workflow between your data transformation layer and version control. Stop manually syncing model changes, test results, and documentation between your dbt projects and GitHub repositories — let AI keep your analytics codebase in sync.

What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Auto-commit dbt model changes and test results to GitHub branches

When dbt models are updated or tests run, automatically commit the changes, test outputs, and generated documentation to the corresponding GitHub branch. Keep your repository in sync with your transformation logic without manual git operations.

Create GitHub issues when dbt data quality tests fail in production

Monitor dbt test runs and automatically create GitHub issues with full context when tests fail — including which models are affected, what failed, and lineage information. Route to the right team with proper labels and severity.

Trigger dbt model refreshes when SQL files are merged to main

Watch for pull request merges in your dbt project repository and automatically trigger the corresponding model builds in your data warehouse. Ensure your transformed data stays current with your latest code.

Sync dbt documentation updates to GitHub wiki or markdown files

When dbt models are documented or schema definitions updated, automatically generate and commit markdown documentation to your GitHub repository. Keep technical documentation versioned alongside code.

Post dbt lineage impact analysis as GitHub PR comments

When pull requests modify dbt models, automatically analyze downstream dependencies and post lineage impact reports as comments. Help reviewers understand what models, tests, and dashboards will be affected.

Run dbt CI checks when GitHub pull requests update model files

Automatically trigger dbt compile, test, and validation workflows when pull requests touch model definitions. Post build status, test coverage, and compilation errors directly back to the PR.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize dbt and GitHub with OAuth or API credentials. Redbird never stores your data — it just passes through.

02

Describe what you want

Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.

03

Review and activate

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

04

Let it run — and iterate

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird understands dbt's model structure, test framework, and lineage graph — and how they map to GitHub's repository layout, pull request workflow, and CI/CD pipelines.

AI that reads dbt schemas and GitHub repository structures

Redbird parses your dbt project files, manifest.json, and run results to understand model dependencies, test definitions, and documentation. It maps these to your GitHub repository structure, knows which files correspond to which models, and can trace changes through your git history. The AI identifies which pull requests affect which data models, what tests cover each change, and how to route alerts based on code ownership.

faster than manually syncing dbt state with GitHub

No custom scripts, git hooks, or manual commit workflows required

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from dbt and GitHub simultaneously, merge the results, and format a polished report — sent on a schedule or on demand.

Trigger-based alerts

Set conditions in natural language. Get notified in Slack or email the moment a threshold is crossed in either dbt or GitHub.

Enterprise-grade security

SOC 2 Type II certified. Data flows encrypted in transit and at rest. Fine-grained permission controls with full audit logs.

Bidirectional sync

Push data from dbt into GitHub, or from GitHub back into dbt. Resolve conflicts with configurable merge rules.

Full audit trail

Every workflow run is logged — what ran, what changed, and why. Replay or revert any individual step at any time.

Triggers & actions for every team

Start automations from any event in dbt or GitHub — model runs, test failures, pull requests, merges, and more.
