# Git Integration

Git repositories can be integrated with Terraform Enterprise by using
[`terraform push`](/docs/commands/push.html) to import Terraform configuration
when changes are committed. When Terraform configuration is imported using
`terraform push` a plan is automatically queued.

-> This integration is for Git repositories **not** hosted on GitHub. For GitHub, please see the GitHub documentation instead.

## Setup

Terraform configuration can be manually imported by running `terraform push`
like below:

```shell
$ terraform push -name=$USERNAME/ENV_NAME
```

A better option than having to manually run `terraform push` is to run it
using a git commit hook. A client-side `pre-push` hook is suitable and will
push your Terraform configuration when you push local changes to your Git
server.

### Client-side Commit Hook

The script below will execute `terraform push` when you push local changes to
your Git server. Place the script at `.git/pre-push` in your local Git
repository, set the necessary variables, and ensure the script is executable.

```shell
#!/bin/bash
#
# An example hook script to push Terraform configuration to Terraform Enterprise.
#
# Set the following variables for your project:
# - ENV_NAME - your environment name (e.g. org/env)
# - TERRAFORM_DIR - the local directory to push
# - DEFAULT_BRANCH - the branch to push. Other branches will be ignored.

ENV_NAME="YOUR_ORG/YOUR_ENV"
TERRAFORM_DIR="terraform"
DEFAULT_BRANCH=""

if [[ -z "$ENV_NAME" || -z "$TERRAFORM_DIR" || -z "$DEFAULT_BRANCH" ]]; then
  echo 'pre-push hook: One or more variables are undefined. Canceling push.'
  exit 1
fi

current_branch=$(git symbolic-ref HEAD | sed -e 's,.*/\(.*\),\1,')

if [ "$current_branch" == "$DEFAULT_BRANCH" ]; then
  echo "pre-push hook: Pushing branch [$current_branch] to environment [$ENV_NAME]."
  terraform push -name="$ENV_NAME" $TERRAFORM_DIR
else
  echo "pre-push hook: NOT pushing branch [$current_branch] to environment [$ENV_NAME]."
fi

```
