Thus far our various interactions with the bits of state we keep associated with a working directory have all been implemented directly inside the "command" package -- often in the huge command.Meta type -- and not managed collectively via a single component. There's too many little codepaths reading and writing from the working directory and data directory to refactor it all in one step, but this is an attempt at a first step towards a future where everything that reads and writes from the current working directory would do so via an object that encapsulates the implementation details and offers a high-level API to read and write all of these session-persistent settings. The design here continues our gradual path towards using a dependency injection style where "package main" is solely responsible for directly interacting with the OS command line, the OS environment, the OS working directory, the stdio streams, and the CLI configuration, and then communicating the resulting information to the rest of Terraform by wiring together objects. It seems likely that eventually we'll have enough wiring code in package main to justify a more explicit organization of that code, but for this commit the new "workdir.Dir" object is just wired directly in place of its predecessors, without any significant change of code organization at that top layer. This first commit focuses on the main files and directories we use to find provider plugins, because a subsequent commit will lightly reorganize the separation of concerns for plugin launching with a similar goal of collecting all of the relevant logic together into one spot. |

Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions.
The key features of Terraform are:
-
Infrastructure as Code: Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be versioned and treated as you would any other code. Additionally, infrastructure can be shared and re-used.
-
Execution Plans: Terraform has a "planning" step where it generates an execution plan. The execution plan shows what Terraform will do when you call apply. This lets you avoid any surprises when Terraform manipulates infrastructure.
-
Resource Graph: Terraform builds a graph of all your resources, and parallelizes the creation and modification of any non-dependent resources. Because of this, Terraform builds infrastructure as efficiently as possible, and operators get insight into dependencies in their infrastructure.
-
Change Automation: Complex changesets can be applied to your infrastructure with minimal human interaction. With the previously mentioned execution plan and resource graph, you know exactly what Terraform will change and in what order, avoiding many possible human errors.
For more information, see the introduction section of the Terraform website.
Getting Started & Documentation
Documentation is available on the Terraform website:
If you're new to Terraform and want to get started creating infrastructure, please check out our Getting Started guides on HashiCorp's learning platform. There are also additional guides to continue your learning.
Show off your Terraform knowledge by passing a certification exam. Visit the certification page for information about exams and find study materials on HashiCorp's learning platform.
Developing Terraform
This repository contains only Terraform core, which includes the command line interface and the main graph engine. Providers are implemented as plugins, and Terraform can automatically download providers that are published on the Terraform Registry. HashiCorp develops some providers, and others are developed by other organizations. For more information, see Extending Terraform.
