# Command: workspace new
|
|
|
|
The `terraform workspace new` command is used to create a new workspace.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Usage: `terraform workspace new [NAME]`
|
|
|
|
This command will create a new workspace with the given name. A workspace with
|
|
this name must not already exist.
|
|
|
|
If the `-state` flag is given, the state specified by the given path
|
|
will be copied to initialize the state for this new workspace.
|
|
|
|
The command-line flags are all optional. The only supported flag is:
|
|
|
|
* `-state=path` - Path to a state file to initialize the state of this environment.
|
|
|
|
## Example: Create
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ terraform workspace new example
|
|
Created and switched to workspace "example"!
|
|
|
|
You're now on a new, empty workspace. Workspaces isolate their state,
|
|
so if you run "terraform plan" Terraform will not see any existing state
|
|
for this configuration.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example: Create from State
|
|
|
|
To create a new workspace from a pre-existing local state file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ terraform workspace new -state=old.terraform.tfstate example
|
|
Created and switched to workspace "example".
|
|
|
|
You're now on a new, empty workspace. Workspaces isolate their state,
|
|
so if you run "terraform plan" Terraform will not see any existing state
|
|
for this configuration.
|
|
```
