Thank you for putting this together @rahulj51 ! 💪
Nice work putting together the integration tests too.
I've left comments for some very small updates. They are small enough that I will try merging them. I'll reach out to you if I need your help on those.

Resolves #50
By default,
generate_sourcegenerates the source definitions for all tables in a schema. With very big schemas, sometimes, you only wish to generate the schema for a selected set of tables. This PR adds an optional arg calledtable_namestogenerate_sourcethat takes a list of tables.Note on Testing
The instructions for testing locally were not clear but with some trial and error, the following steps were performed to run the integration tests
