| dbt Cloud empowers data practitioners to develop in the tool of their choice. It ships with a [dbt Cloud CLI](/docs/cloud/cloud-cli-installation) (local) or [dbt Cloud IDE](/docs/cloud/dbt-cloud-ide/develop-in-the-cloud) (browser-based) to build, test, run, and version control your dbt projects. | ||
|
|
||
| Both development tools are tailored to suit different audiences and preferences within your team. To streamline your team’s workflow, it's important to know who will prefer the dbt Cloud IDE and who might lean towards the dbt Cloud CLI. This section aims to clarify these preferences. | ||

@jtcohen6 quick one - based on this thread, should we also add info about the gitignore file as described here
Make sure you check the .gitignore file contains the necessary entries. dbt Core doesn't interact with git so dbt Cloud doesn't automatically add or verify entries in the .gitignore file. Additionally, if the repository already contains dbt code and doesn't require initialization, dbt Cloud won't add any missing entries to the .gitignore file.
| ### dbt Cloud CLI | ||
| The dbt Cloud CLI allows you to run dbt [commands](/reference/dbt-commands#available-commands) against your dbt Cloud development environment from your local command line. For users who seek full control over their development environment and ideal for those comfortable with the command line. | ||

When moving from dbt Core to dbt Cloud, make sure you check the .gitignore file contains the necessary folders. dbt Core doesn't interact with git so dbt Cloud doesn't automatically add or verify entries in the .gitignore file. Additionally, if the repository already contains dbt code and doesn't require initialization, dbt Cloud won't add any missing entries to the .gitignore file.
