 `dbt retry` reuses the [selectors](/reference/node-selection/yaml-selectors) from the previously executed command.

+If you run `dbt retry` after successfully executing `dbt run`, you'll get the following results.

+
+In each scenario `dbt retry` picks up from the error rather than running all of the upstream dependencies again.
