tf

Wrapper for the Terraform CLI. Provides some opinionated commands to help with Terraform CLI use. All other commands are passed directly to the Terraform CLI. It only works when run in a directory that contains a backend.tf. If no backend.tf is found, the tool exits.

Use tf clean

To clean and initialize your Terraform working directory.

tf clean

• Removes the .terraform/ directory and .terraform.lock.hcl file
• Runs terraform init

Use tf qplan

To run a Terraform plan in quiet mode, which removes drift output for clarity.

tf qplan

• Runs terraform plan and filters the output

Your output will resemble the following.

No changes. Your infrastructure matches the configuration.

Your configuration already matches the changes detected above. If you'd like to update the Terraform state to match, create and apply a refresh-only plan.

Use tf off

For rapid development of Terraform config. This command modifies config files but backend.tf and providers.tf, so the next apply will tear down the resources. Used in conjunction with tf on.

tf off

• Adds the .off extension to config files in the current directory (with the exception of backend.tf and providers.tf).

Use tf on
