Hi < Ketan kumare3 > Just looking into the docs on this and can t seem to find `flytectl register` commands as APIs here

katrina · Answer

hey < seunggs> under the hood the command actually calls the CreateWorkflow and CreateTask endpoints

seunggs · Answer

seunggs · Answer

So does that mean it both serializes and registers workflows tasks

Ketan (kumare3) · Answer

Yup

katrina · Answer

it meaning flytectl The endpoints only accept the serialized protos

Ketan (kumare3) · Answer

Checkout the code

seunggs · Answer

< katrina> I mean the endpoints but ok looks like you have to serialize first and then the endpoint just registers < Ketan kumare3 > will browse the code here as well Thank you both for your quick response

seunggs · Answer

< katrina> Sorry one more question regarding serialization is there a way to do this programmatically or is the only way to serialize using `pyflyte` CLI

katrina · Answer

it has to be pyflyte cli b c it s native to the sdk and doesn t really make sense to do server side

seunggs · Answer

OK got it thank you

seunggs · Answer

< katrina> Is there a documentation for pyflyte you can point to I can t seem to find it anywhere in the api reference

seunggs · Answer

In the docs for example there s this command `pyflyte pkgs flyte workflows package image lt registry repo version gt ` what is `flyte workflows` here And right after that there s `flytectl register files project flytesnacks domain development archive flyte package tgz version v1` Where is the `flyte package tgz` coming from

Ketan (kumare3) · Answer

Flyte workflows is the python package under the source root

Ketan (kumare3) · Answer
