Usage

To install the compatible version of Terraform:

brew install tfenv
cd terraform/
tfenv install latest
tfenv use latest

We set the constraints with minor version precision. However when using this Terraform version manager, you need to specify the patch version, e.g. tfenv install 1.10.5.

Pre-commit hooks

We have some recommended pre-commit hooks. You need to install pre-commit for these to run.

Documentation

See the docs/ directory.

There are also docs in the terraform/docs/ directory and inline in READMEs in some directories.
