Feature request: For automation, add more defaults (and ideally, an `all` option for some) for `generate sources` about dbt-coves HOT 3 OPEN

@jaredx435k2d0 we've just added a new --no-prompt flag to dbt-coves generate commands (sources, properties and metadata). Check it out in our newest a28 version

This allows you to automate the creation of resources, alongside the usage of already existent flags/args.

For example, the following would generate all sources in all schemas on your DB:

dbt-coves generate sources --schemas "*" --no-prompt

It will auto-flatten and generate all the resulting resources with the filter(s) you use.

A more complex filtering:

dbt-coves generate sources --schemas "my_schema" --select-relations "prefix_*" --update-strategy recreate --no-prompt

from dbt-coves.

This is awesome! I'm planning to use some dbt-coves commands in a regular automation, so this will be perfect.

Just to be clear, there is currently no way to choose to have it NOT flatten JSON, is that correct?

Can you please explain the new recreate option? Does that delete and recreate, as in I'd lose any existing documentation? Or would it retain that, but just "recreate" in the sense that it refreshes / would now not include any items deleted since the last execution?
