Hello,

Currently, when we want to add new changes to dataform repository. We create a development workspace, make our changes, commit, push and create a PR to update the default branch.

Now, we want to create a base PR directly on github.com and then to edit the changes, we want to pull the changes to a development workspace on Dataform. I don’t see an option to update the development branches from dataform and documentation doesn’t say how to do this.

To test, I created a new branch on github.com. Pulled the default branch changes on dataform UI, hoping to see the new branch as development workspace, but no new workspace appeared.

Can someone bring some light on this topic? Is this possible?

Hi @harsha-ap ,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

Currently in Dataform, you have to manually create your development workspace inside your repository after connecting it to your GitHub branch. You may refer to this YouTube video for a more detailed discussion about connecting GitHub repositories to Dataform.

Alternatively, you might consider submitting a feature request regarding this for enhanced functionality. Before filing, please take note on what to expect when opening an issue.
