# Command: state pull
|
|
|
|
The `terraform state pull` command is used to manually download and output
|
|
the state from [remote state](/docs/language/state/remote.html). This command also
|
|
works with local state.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Usage: `terraform state pull`
|
|
|
|
This command will download the state from its current location, upgrade the
|
|
local copy to the latest state file version that is compatible with
|
|
locally-installed Terraform, and output the raw format to stdout.
|
|
|
|
This is useful for reading values out of state (potentially pairing this
|
|
command with something like [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/)). It is
|
|
also useful if you need to make manual modifications to state.
|
|
|
|
~> Note: This command cannot be used to inspect the Terraform version of
|
|
the remote state, as it will always be converted to the current Terraform
|
|
version before output.
