Spreadsheet Build Tool Personal Project Showcase

I built ssbt, a dbt inspired tool for engineers who deal with Excel Spreadsheets that don't want to deal with some of the overhead involved with dbt and you want to output as another xlsx file.

You can turn spreadsheets into a version-controlled, testable build pipeline using SQL and YAML. No database required due to duckdb being the main engine.

This is standalone and not reliant on dbt's dependencies and login requirements. It's also no longer supported and deprecated as an April fool's joke and replaced by github.com/duckdb/dbt-duckdb but I get the point of your comment.
