Use Genie Code CLI to build pipelines and models directly from your terminal

Use cases

Imagine you are developing scripts locally and need to create tables, query Unity Catalog, and deploy a model without leaving the command line. With Genie Code CLI, you can:

• Read and edit local files in your project.
• Discover and query Unity Catalog data using integrated commands.
• Build and deploy pipelines, models, and Databricks Apps.

How to use

Install the tool on Linux or macOS using your terminal:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/databricks/genie-code-cli/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash

What happens in this code:

1. Downloads the latest official installation script.
2. Runs the installation of Genie Code CLI in your Unix environment.

To start the tool in your project directory:

cd my-project
genie

What happens in this code:

1. Navigates to your local project folder.
2. Starts the coding agent in the terminal.
3. Prompts you to select a Databricks CLI profile and confirm trust in the directory.

Limitations and requirements

• This feature is in Beta.
• Requires a Databricks workspace in a Unity Gateway supported region with Unity Catalog enabled.
• Requires Databricks CLI version 1.0.0 or above installed separately.
• Model selection is managed by Databricks, and usage is billed through Unity Gateway.
