# Sync dbt schema YAML and inherited column metadata before docs drift accumulates with dbt-osmosis

Keep dbt schema YAML and column documentation aligned with the project so stale metadata does not pile up between model changes.

## Prerequisites

Python, dbt Core with a compatible adapter, dbt-osmosis installation, and access to the target dbt project repository

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- uv tool install --with="dbt-<adapter>" dbt-osmosis
- pip install "dbt-osmosis" "dbt-<adapter>"
- npm --prefix docs run start
- npm --prefix docs run build

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- dbt-osmosis is a Python CLI and package for dbt development workflows.
- Python 3.10-3.13
- Docs-site commands use the Node toolchain under docs/:

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- ad-hoc SQL compile/run helpers
- With uv:
- bash
