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. For more information about how to use Prefect, please refer to the Prefect documentation.

Install prefect-shell with pip:

pip install -U prefect-shell

from prefect import flow
from prefect_shell import shell_run_command

@flow
def example_shell_run_command_flow():
    return shell_run_command(command="ls .", return_all=True)

example_shell_run_command_flow()
