hey @BobClaerhoutTropos thanks for openign this up! can you give some more info on why the indentation change here?

This current config ensures that:

• all models within the jaffle_shop namespace (directory) are materialized as tables.
• all models within the example namespace (directory) are materialized as views.

so the existing block separates the configs for jaffle_shop and example:

models:
  jaffle_shop:
    +materialized: table
  example:
    +materialized: view

Hi @mirnawong1 ,
I don't see where the jaffle_shop directory would be created? The jaffle_shop is appearing because the tutorial directs you to change the name of the project. That's, according to me, the only way jaffle_shop ends up in this model config, right?

It starts from this example:

models:
  my_new_project:
    # Applies to all files under models/example/
    example:
      +materialized: table

Here you see that the example directory also has more indents compared to the my_new_project item. It was mostly because of this original structure, I made the PR. I just tested this again and it just doesn't work if the indentation is similar to the my_new_project or jaffle_shop

@mirnawong1 / @BobClaerhoutTropos : referencing this code comment in https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/build/sql-models#configuring-models , the proposed changes look good to me.

if my understanding is incorrect, tho, happy to revert
