prefect-shell
is a collection of prebuilt Prefect tasks that can be used to quickly construct Prefect flows.
Requires an installation of Python 3.7+.
We recommend using a Python virtual environment manager such as pipenv, conda or virtualenv.
These tasks are designed to work with Prefect 2.0. For more information about how to use Prefect, please refer to the Prefect documentation.
