The only correct statement is Option C, because dbt allows you to override the schema for a package’s models directly within your project’s dbt_project.yml file. Packages behave just like subfolders within your own project, and therefore the standard configuration pattern applies:
models:
timeformat:
+schema: timeseries
This correctly overrides the package’s default schema, allowing all models within the timeformat package to be built into the timeseries schema.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option A
Local packages can be added using a path reference, but that is not what a private Git repository refers to. A private repo must be added using git: plus SSH/HTTPS URL, not local: unless the developer literally cloned the repo into a local directory. The question specifically describes a private repository, so this is not the correct statement.
Option B
Packages are installed using dbt deps, not dbt build.
dbt build only runs models, tests, and snapshots; it does not install dependencies.
Option D
Including a version or revision is allowed for private Git-based packages. You can specify branches, tags, or commit hashes safely in packages.yml.
