Hey all!

Wrote a simple CLI tool that converts dbt models into looker view files. Once you've built your dbt project, run dbt2looker and copy the files over to looker.

Features:

- Auto-generates a Looker view per dbt model

- Supports dbt model and column-level descriptions

- Automatically maps raw column types to looker types

- Creates dimension groups for datetime/timestamp/date types

- Currently supports: BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift (postgres to come)
