Local Files

Harlequin’s Data Catalog will show local files in a second tab in the Data Catalog if Harlequin is initialized with the --show-files option (alias -f). --show-files takes an absolute or relative file path to a directory as its argument:

For example, an absolute path:

$ harlequin --show-files /path/to/my/data

For the current working directory:

$ harlequin -f .
