Experimental package hub updates by ellenfogarty-dbt · Pull Request #4413 · dbt-labs/hub.getdbt.com

ellenfogarty-dbt · 2026-03-31T15:59:40Z

Following on from Fusion compatibility badge updates, these are some experimental UI updates in package hub to:

Featured package tiles to remove logo and surface additional package information
Removed icon from package details page

Routes @dbt-labs packages to GitHub Packages registry. Requires GITHUB_TOKEN to be set in the local environment. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Change detail from Cursor: SassC rejects min(100%, 22rem) during compilation (mixed % and rem). Emit the grid-template value with unquote() so the browser handles min().

LGTM, but I'm not 100% sold on including the last package release date on the tiles, as the featured packages are reasonably stable and a stale publish date does not imply anything bad

Also, node_modules shouldn't be committed should it?

cmcarthur

please remove node_modules from the commit, I will take another pass after that! thanks @ellenfogarty-dbt

Add node_modules/ to .gitignore and untrack all committed node_modules files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Updated to remove package date from featured package tiles and node_modules from the commit.

@ellenfogarty-dbt thanks for removing node_modules. I have some more feedback, can you take a look? thanks

this won't work in CI/CD, we don't make a github token available to the build process. shouldn't these be public repositories anyway? why do we need a github token?

Thanks - I'll remove the github token now

this is not set, and I don't think we should set it. if we need github auth, we can use the builtin github actions permission model, but I don't think it's necessary here, and it wouldn't have any special permissions to the repositories that host packages.

As above, I'll remove this now too

do we need the github token to be able to pull in biga as well?

I'm not sure on this, I think I have updated this now to use the builtin github actions for this.

does this slow down the build process significantly?

TBH I'm not sure on this one. My knowledge is pretty limited on this. I've ran it past Claude and gotten the following response - keen to know your thoughts:

The more meaningful risk is reliability, not speed — if GitHub's API is slow or down, each failed request waits for a timeout before moving on. The rescue block in fetch_github_repo does catch errors and fall back gracefully, but depending on what timeout URI.open applies by default (Ruby doesn't set one), a hung connection could stall the build noticeably.

You could add an explicit read timeout to make the fallback snappy:

def fetch_github_repo(org, repo)
url = "https://api.github.com/repos/#{org}/#{repo}"
options = {
'Accept' => 'application/vnd.github+json',
'X-GitHub-Api-Version' => '2022-11-28',
'User-Agent' => 'hub.getdbt.com-middleman-build',
open_timeout: 5,
read_timeout: 5
}
JSON.parse(URI.open(url, options).read)
rescue => e
warn "[hub] GitHub API fetch failed for #{org}/#{repo}: #{e.message}"
{}
end

cmcarthur · 2026-04-08T13:59:48Z

+  JSON.parse(URI.open(url, options).read)
+rescue => e
+  warn "[hub] GitHub API fetch failed for #{org}/#{repo}: #{e.message}"
+  {}


I don't like the idea that the site will render differently based on whether the github api was up or down during the time that we built it. IMO this should fail hard!

I've removed the 'rescue' block here. Claude suggested adding in timeouts so these have been added in as follows:
open_timeout: 5,
read_timeout: 5
