This tutorial can be used in tandem with our documentation to ensure up to date information.

Welcome to Rill Developer!
Rill Developer is used to develop your Rill project as editing in Rill Cloud is not yet available. In Rill Developer, you will create connections to your source files, do some last mile ETL, define metrics in the metrics layer and finally create a dashboard. For more details on the differences between Rill Developer and Rill Cloud, see our documention, here.

Let's go ahead and select Start with an empty project

Where am I in the terminal?
You can use the pwd
