[WIP] dbtdocs-to-lookml

A tool to persist descriptions from your dbt project your lookml project.

Running this proof of concept locally:

cd into the test_dbt_project directory
Run dbt compile. Note, you may need to set up a new dbt target to compile this correctly.
cd back into main directory
Run python dbtdocs_to_lookml.py
Check the target directory: you should have new lookml files with dbt descriptions

To-dos:

For beta release:

Make this handle multiple lookml files
Parameterize the paths / add a CLI
Consider reasonable assumptions around matching a dbt model to a view

Future considerations:

Should this overwrite files, or just diff them?
What other command line arguments should it have?
What about long descriptions?
