People who work as Analytical Engineers or DEs with some degree of Data Analytics involved, curious how you setup your dbt repos.

I am getting into dbt and having been playing around with it. I am interested in how the small and medium sized companies have their workflow setup. I know the debate of monorepos and repos for departments is always ongoing and that every company will set up a bit differently.

But if you have a specific project that you are working on and you need to use dbt would you have a git repo for dbt separate from the repo of the project intended for exploratory analysis using the resultant tables from the dbt pipeline or would you just instantiate the dbt boiler template as a subdirectory?

Cheers in advance.
