This page documents the CLI commands and options available with Terragrunt:
Terragrunt supports the following CLI commands:
Terragrunt is a thin wrapper for Terraform, so except for a few of the special commands defined in these docs,
Terragrunt forwards all other commands to Terraform. For example, when you run terragrunt apply, Terragrunt executes
terraform apply.
Examples:
terragrunt plan
terragrunt apply
terragrunt output
terragrunt destroy
# etc
Run terraform --help to get the full list.
Runs the provided terraform command against a stack, where a stack is a
tree of terragrunt modules. The command will recursively find terragrunt
modules in the current directory tree and run the terraform command in
dependency order (unless the command is destroy, in which case the command is
run in reverse dependency order).
Make sure to read Execute Terraform commands on multiple modules at once for context.
Example:
terragrunt run-all apply
This will recursively search the current working directory for any folders that contain Terragrunt modules and run
apply in each one, concurrently, while respecting ordering defined via
dependency and
dependencies blocks.
[WARNING] Using run-all with plan is currently broken for certain use cases. If you have a stack of Terragrunt
modules with dependencies between them—either via dependency blocks or terraform_remote_state data sources—and
you’ve never deployed them, then run-all plan will fail as it will not be possible to resolve the dependency blocks
or terraform_remote_state data sources! Please see here for more
information.
[NOTE] Using run-all with apply or destroy silently adds the -auto-approve flag to the command line
arguments passed to Terraform due to issues with shared stdin making individual approvals impossible. Please
see here for more information
DEPRECATED: Use run-all plan instead.
Display the plans of a stack by running terragrunt plan in each subfolder. Make sure to read Execute Terraform
commands on multiple modules at once for
context.
Example:
terragrunt run-all plan
This will recursively search the current working directory for any folders that contain Terragrunt modules and run
plan in each one, concurrently, while respecting ordering defined via
dependency and
dependencies blocks.
[WARNING] run-all plan is currently broken for certain use cases. If you have a stack of Terragrunt modules with
dependencies between them—either via dependency blocks or terraform_remote_state data sources—and you’ve never
deployed them, then run-all plan will fail as it will not be possible to resolve the dependency blocks or
terraform_remote_state data sources! Please see here for more
information.
DEPRECATED: Use run-all apply instead.
Apply a stack by running terragrunt apply in each subfolder. Make sure to read Execute Terraform
commands on multiple modules at once for
context.
Example:
terragrunt apply-all
This will recursively search the current working directory for any folders that contain Terragrunt modules and run
apply in each one, concurrently, while respecting ordering defined via
dependency and
dependencies blocks.
[NOTE] Using apply-all silently adds the -auto-approve flag to the command line arguments passed to Terraform
due to issues with shared stdin making individual approvals impossible. Please see here for more
information
DEPRECATED: Use run-all output instead.
Display the outputs of a stack by running terragrunt output in each subfolder. Make sure to read Execute Terraform
commands on multiple modules at once for
context.
Example:
terragrunt output-all
This will recursively search the current working directory for any folders that contain Terragrunt modules and run
output in each one, concurrently, while respecting ordering defined via
dependency and
dependencies blocks.
[WARNING] output-all is currently broken for certain use cases. If you have a stack of Terragrunt modules with
dependencies between them—either via dependency blocks or terraform_remote_state data sources—and you’ve never
deployed them, then output-all will fail as it will not be possible to resolve the dependency blocks or
terraform_remote_state data sources! Please see here for more
information.
DEPRECATED: Use run-all destroy instead.
Destroy a stack by running terragrunt destroy in each subfolder. Make sure to read Execute Terraform
commands on multiple modules at once for
context.
Example:
terragrunt destroy-all
This will recursively search the current working directory for any folders that contain Terragrunt modules and run
destroy in each one, concurrently, while respecting ordering defined via
dependency and
dependencies blocks.
[NOTE] Using destroy-all silently adds the -auto-approve flag to the command line arguments passed to Terraform
due to issues with shared stdin making individual approvals impossible. Please see here for more
information
DEPRECATED: Use run-all validate instead.
Validate stack by running terragrunt validate in each subfolder. Make sure to read Execute Terraform
commands on multiple modules at once for
context.
Example:
terragrunt validate-all
This will recursively search the current working directory for any folders that contain Terragrunt modules and run
validate in each one, concurrently, while respecting ordering defined via
dependency and
dependencies blocks.
Emits limited terragrunt state on stdout in a JSON format and exits.
Example:
terragrunt terragrunt-info
Might produce output such as:
{
"ConfigPath": "/example/path/terragrunt.hcl",
"DownloadDir": "/example/path/.terragrunt-cache",
"IamRole": "",
"TerraformBinary": "terraform",
"TerraformCommand": "terragrunt-info",
"WorkingDir": "/example/path"
}
Emits information about the input variables that are configured with the given terragrunt configuration. Specifically, this command will print out unused inputs (inputs that are not defined as a terraform variable in the corresponding module) and undefined required inputs (required terraform variables that are not currently being passed in).
Example:
> terragrunt validate-inputs
The following inputs passed in by terragrunt are unused:
- foo
- bar
The following required inputs are missing:
- baz
Note that this only checks for variables passed in in the following ways:
Configured inputs attribute.
var files defined on terraform.extra_arguments blocks using required_var_files and optional_var_files.
-var-file and -var CLI arguments defined on terraform.extra_arguments using arguments.
-var-file and -var CLI arguments passed to terragrunt.
Automatically loaded var files (terraform.tfvars, terraform.tfvars.json, *.auto.tfvars, *.auto.tfvars.json)
TF_VAR environment variables defined on terraform.extra_arguments blocks.
TF_VAR environment variables defined in the environment.
Be aware that other ways to pass variables to terraform are not checked by this command.
Additionally, there are two modes in which the validate-inputs command can be run: relaxed (default) and strict.
If you run the validate-inputs command without flags, relaxed mode will be enabled by default. In relaxed mode, any unused variables
that are passed, but not used by the underlying Terraform configuration, will generate a warning, but not an error. Missing required variables will always return an error, whether validate-inputs is running in relaxed or strict mode.
To enable strict mode, you can pass the --terragrunt-strict-validate flag like so:
> terragrunt validate-inputs --terragrunt-strict-validate
When running in strict mode, validate-inputs will return an error if there are unused inputs.
This command will exit with an error if terragrunt detects any unused inputs or undefined required inputs.
Prints the terragrunt dependency graph, in DOT format, to stdout. You can generate charts from DOT format using tools
such as GraphViz.
Example:
terragrunt graph-dependencies
This will recursively search the current working directory for any folders that contain Terragrunt modules and build
the dependency graph based on dependency and
dependencies blocks. This may produce output such as:
digraph {
"mgmt/bastion-host" ;
"mgmt/bastion-host" -> "mgmt/vpc";
"mgmt/bastion-host" -> "mgmt/kms-master-key";
"mgmt/kms-master-key" ;
"mgmt/vpc" ;
"stage/backend-app" ;
"stage/backend-app" -> "stage/vpc";
"stage/backend-app" -> "mgmt/bastion-host";
"stage/backend-app" -> "stage/mysql";
"stage/backend-app" -> "stage/search-app";
"stage/frontend-app" ;
"stage/frontend-app" -> "stage/vpc";
"stage/frontend-app" -> "mgmt/bastion-host";
"stage/frontend-app" -> "stage/backend-app";
"stage/mysql" ;
"stage/mysql" -> "stage/vpc";
"stage/redis" ;
"stage/redis" -> "stage/vpc";
"stage/search-app" ;
"stage/search-app" -> "stage/vpc";
"stage/search-app" -> "stage/redis";
"stage/vpc" ;
"stage/vpc" -> "mgmt/vpc";
}
Recursively find hcl files and rewrite them into a canonical format.
Example:
terragrunt hclfmt
This will recursively search the current working directory for any folders that contain Terragrunt configuration files
and run the equivalent of terraform fmt on them.
Overwrite settings on nested AWS providers to work around several Terraform bugs. Due to
issue #13018 and
issue #26211, the import command may fail if your Terraform
code uses a module that has a provider block nested within it that sets any of its attributes to computed values.
This command is a hacky attempt at working around this problem by allowing you to temporarily hard-code those
attributes so import can work.
You specify which attributes to hard-code using the --terragrunt-override-attr option,
passing it ATTR=VALUE, where ATTR is the attribute name and VALUE is the new value. VALUE is assumed to be a
json encoded string, which means that you must have quotes (e.g., --terragrunt-override-attr 'region="eu-west-1"').
Additionally, note that ATTR can specify attributes within a nested block by specifying <BLOCK>.<ATTR>, where
<BLOCK> is the block name.
For example, let’s say you had a provider block in a module that looked like this:
provider "aws" {
region = var.aws_region
allowed_account_ids = var.allowed_account_ids
assume_role {
role_arn = var.role_arn
}
}
Both the region and role_arn parameters are set to dynamic values, which will trigger those Terraform bugs. To work
around it, run the following command:
# NOTE: The single quotes around the args is to allow you to pass through the " character in the args via bash quoting
# rules.
terragrunt aws-provider-patch \
--terragrunt-override-attr 'region="eu-west-1"' \
--terragrunt-override-attr 'assume_role.role_arn=""' \
--terragrunt-override-attr 'allowed_account_ids=["00000000"]'
When you run the command above, Terragrunt will:
terraform init to download the code for all your modules into .terraform/modules..terraform/modules, find AWS provider blocks, and for each one, hard-code:
region param to "eu-west-1".role_arn within the assume_role block to "".allowed_account_ids param to ["0000000"].The result will look like this:
provider "aws" {
region = "eu-west-1"
allowed_account_ids = ["0000000"]
assume_role {
role_arn = ""
}
}
This should allow you to run import on the module and work around those Terraform bugs. When you’re done running
import, remember to delete your overridden code! E.g., Delete the .terraform or .terragrunt-cache folders.
Render out the final interpreted terragrunt.hcl file (that is, with all the includes merged, dependencies
resolved/interpolated, function calls executed, etc) as json.
Example:
terragrunt.hcl
locals {
aws_region = "us-east-1"
}
inputs = {
aws_region = local.aws_region
}
terragrunt_rendered.json
{
"locals": {"aws_region": "us-east-1"},
"inputs": {"aws_region": "us-east-1"},
// NOTE: other attributes are omitted for brevity
}
You can use the CLI option --terragrunt-json-out to configure where terragrunt renders out the json representation.
To generate json with metadata can be specified argument --with-metadata which will add metadata to the json output.
Example:
{
"inputs": {
"aws_region": {
"metadata": {
"found_in_file": "/example/terragrunt.hcl"
},
"value": "us-east-1"
}
},
"locals": {
"aws_region": {
"metadata": {
"found_in_file": "/example/terragrunt.hcl"
},
"value": "us-east-1"
}
}
// NOTE: other attributes are omitted for brevity
}
Output groups of modules ordered for apply (or destroy) as a list of list in JSON.
Example:
terragrunt output-module-groups <sub-command>
Optional sub-commands:
This will recursively search the current working directory for any folders that contain Terragrunt modules and build
the dependency graph based on dependency and
dependencies blocks and output the graph as a JSON list of list (unless the sub-command is destroy, in which case the command will output the reverse dependency order).
This can be be useful in several scenarios, such as in CICD, when determining apply order or searching for all files to apply with CLI options
such as --terragrunt-modules-that-include
This may produce output such as:
{
"Group 1": [
"stage/frontend-app"
],
"Group 2": [
"stage/backend-app"
],
"Group 3": [
"mgmt/bastion-host",
"stage/search-app"
],
"Group 4": [
"mgmt/kms-master-key",
"stage/mysql",
"stage/redis"
],
"Group 5": [
"stage/vpc"
],
"Group 6": [
"mgmt/vpc"
]
}
Terragrunt forwards all options to Terraform. The only exceptions are --version and arguments that start with the
prefix --terragrunt- (e.g., --terragrunt-config). The currently available options are:
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-config
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_CONFIG
Requires an argument: --terragrunt-config /path/to/terragrunt.hcl
A custom path to the terragrunt.hcl or terragrunt.hcl.json file. The
default path is terragrunt.hcl (preferred) or terragrunt.hcl.json in the current directory (see
Configuration for a slightly more nuanced
explanation). This argument is not used with the run-all commands.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-tfpath
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_TFPATH
Requires an argument: --terragrunt-tfpath /path/to/terraform-binary
A custom path to the Terraform binary. The default is terraform in a directory on your PATH.
NOTE: This will override the terraform binary that is used by terragrunt in all instances, including
dependency lookups. This setting will also override any terraform_binary
configuration values specified in the terragrunt.hcl config for both the top level, and dependency lookups.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-no-auto-init
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_NO_AUTO_INIT (set to true)
(Prior to Terragrunt v0.48.6, this environment variable was called TERRAGRUNT_AUTO_INIT (set to false), and is still available for backwards compatibility)
When passed in, don’t automatically run terraform init when other commands are run (e.g. terragrunt apply). Useful
if you want to pass custom arguments to terraform init that are specific to a user or execution environment, and
therefore cannot be specified as extra_arguments. For example, -plugin-dir. You must run terragrunt init
yourself in this case if needed. terragrunt will fail if it detects that init is needed, but auto init is
disabled. See Auto-Init
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-no-auto-approve
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_NO_AUTO_APPROVE (set to true)
(Prior to Terragrunt v0.48.6, this environment variable was called TERRAGRUNT_AUTO_APPROVE (set to false), and is still available for backwards compatibility)
Commands:
When passed in, Terragrunt will no longer automatically append -auto-approve to the underlying Terraform commands run
with run-all. Note that due to the interactive prompts, this flag will also automatically assume
--terragrunt-parallelism 1.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-no-auto-retry
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_NO_AUTO_RETRY (set to true)
(Prior to Terragrunt v0.48.6, this environment variable was called TERRAGRUNT_AUTO_RETRY (set to false), and is still available for backwards compatibility)
When passed in, don’t automatically retry commands which fail with transient errors. See Auto-Retry
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-non-interactive
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_NON_INTERACTIVE (set to true)
(Prior to Terragrunt v0.48.6, this environment variable was called TF_INPUT (set to false), and is still available for backwards compatibility. NOTE: TF_INPUT is native to Terraform!)
When passed in, don’t show interactive user prompts. This will default the answer for all prompts to yes except for
the listed cases below. This is useful if you need to run Terragrunt in an automated setting (e.g. from a script). May
also be specified with the TF_INPUT environment variable.
This setting will default to no for the following cases:
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-working-dir
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_WORKING_DIR
Requires an argument: --terragrunt-working-dir /path/to/working-directory
Set the directory where Terragrunt should execute the terraform command. Default is the current working directory.
Note that for the run-all commands, this parameter has a different meaning: Terragrunt will apply or destroy all the
Terraform modules in the subfolders of the terragrunt-working-dir, running terraform in the root of each module it
finds.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-download-dir
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_DOWNLOAD
Requires an argument: --terragrunt-download-dir /path/to/dir-to-download-terraform-code
The path where to download Terraform code when using remote Terraform
configurations.
Default is .terragrunt-cache in the working directory. We recommend adding this folder to your .gitignore.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-source
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_SOURCE
Requires an argument: --terragrunt-source /path/to/local-terraform-code
Download Terraform configurations from the specified source into a temporary folder, and run Terraform in that temporary
folder. The source should use the same syntax as the Terraform module
source parameter. If you specify this argument for the run-all
commands, Terragrunt will assume this is the local file path for all of your Terraform modules, and for each module
processed by the run-all command, Terragrunt will automatically append the path of source parameter in each module
to the --terragrunt-source parameter you passed in.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-source-map
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_SOURCE_MAP (encoded as comma separated value, e.g., source1=dest1,source2=dest2)
Requires an argument: --terragrunt-source-map git::ssh://github.com=/path/to/local-terraform-code
Can be supplied multiple times: --terragrunt-source-map source1=dest1 --terragrunt-source-map source2=dest2
The --terragrunt-source-map source=dest param replaces any source URL (including the source URL of a config pulled
in with dependency blocks) that has root source with dest.
For example:
terragrunt apply --terragrunt-source-map github.com/org/modules.git=/local/path/to/modules
The above would replace terraform { source = "github.com/org/modules.git//xxx" } with terraform { source = /local/path/to/modules//xxx } regardless of
whether you were running apply, or run-all, or using a dependency.
NOTE: This setting is ignored if you pass in --terragrunt-source.
Note that this only performs literal matches on the URL portion. For example, a map key of
ssh://git@github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt.git will only match terragrunt configurations with source source =
"ssh://git@github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt.git//xxx" and not sources of the form source =
"git::ssh://git@github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt.git//xxx". The latter requires a map key of
git::ssh://git@github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt.git.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-source-update
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_SOURCE_UPDATE (set to true)
When passed in, delete the contents of the temporary folder before downloading Terraform source code into it.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-ignore-dependency-errors
When passed in, the *-all commands continue processing components even if a dependency fails
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-iam-role
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_IAM_ROLE
Requires an argument: --terragrunt-iam-role "arn:aws:iam::ACCOUNT_ID:role/ROLE_NAME"
Assume the specified IAM role ARN before running Terraform or AWS commands. This is a convenient way to use Terragrunt and Terraform with multiple AWS accounts.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-iam-assume-role-duration
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_IAM_ASSUME_ROLE_DURATION
Requires an argument: --terragrunt-iam-assume-role-duration 3600
Uses the specified duration as the session duration (in seconds) for the STS session which assumes the role defined in --terragrunt-iam-role.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-iam-assume-role-session-name
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_IAM_ASSUME_ROLE_SESSION_NAME
Requires an argument: --terragrunt-iam-assume-role-session-name "terragrunt-iam-role-session-name"
Used as the session name for the STS session which assumes the role defined in --terragrunt-iam-role.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-exclude-dir
Requires an argument: --terragrunt-exclude-dir /path/to/dirs/to/exclude*
Can be supplied multiple times: --terragrunt-exclude-dir /path/to/dirs/to/exclude --terragrunt-exclude-dir /another/path/to/dirs/to/exclude
Unix-style glob of directories to exclude when running *-all commands. Modules under these directories will be
excluded during execution of the commands. If a relative path is specified, it should be relative from
–terragrunt-working-dir. Flag can be specified multiple times. This will only exclude the
module, not its dependencies.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-include-dir
Requires an argument: --terragrunt-include-dir /path/to/dirs/to/include*
Can be supplied multiple times: --terragrunt-include-dir /path/to/dirs/to/include --terragrunt-include-dir /another/path/to/dirs/to/include
Unix-style glob of directories to include when running *-all commands. Only modules under these directories (and all
dependent modules) will be included during execution of the commands. If a relative path is specified, it should be
relative from --terragrunt-working-dir. Flag can be specified multiple times.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-strict-include
When passed in, only modules under the directories passed in with –terragrunt-include-dir will be included. All dependencies of the included directories will be excluded if they are not in the included directories. If no –terragrunt-include-dir flags are included, terragrunt will not include any modules during the execution of the commands.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-strict-validate
When passed in, and running terragrunt validate-inputs, enables strict mode for the validate-inputs command. When strict mode is enabled, an error will be returned if any variables required by the underlying Terraform configuration are not passed in, OR if any unused variables are passed in. By default, terragrunt validate-inputs runs in relaxed mode. In relaxed mode, an error is only returned when a variable required by the underlying Terraform configuration is not passed in.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-ignore-dependency-order
When passed in, ignore the depedencies between modules when running *-all commands.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-ignore-external-dependencies
When passed in, don’t attempt to include any external dependencies when running *-all commands. Note that an external
dependency is a dependency that is outside the current terragrunt working directory, and is not respective to the
included directories with terragrunt-include-dir.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-include-external-dependencies
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_INCLUDE_EXTERNAL_DEPENDENCIES
When passed in, include any external dependencies when running *-all without asking. Note that an external
dependency is a dependency that is outside the current terragrunt working directory, and is not respective to the
included directories with terragrunt-include-dir.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-parallelism
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_PARALLELISM
When passed in, limit the number of modules that are run concurrently to this number during *-all commands.
The exception is the terraform init command, which is always executed sequentially if the terraform plugin cache is used. This is because the terraform plugin cache is not guaranteed to be concurrency safe.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-debug
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_DEBUG
When passed in, Terragrunt will create a tfvars file that can be used to invoke the terraform module in the same way that Terragrunt invokes the module, so that you can debug issues with the terragrunt config. See Debugging for some additional details.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-log-level
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_LOG_LEVEL
Requires an argument: --terragrunt-log-level <LOG_LEVEL>
When passed it, sets logging level for terragrunt. All supported levels are:
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-no-color
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_NO_COLOR
If specified, Terragrunt output won’t contain any color.
NOTE: This option does not disable Terraform output colors. Use the Terraform -no-color argument.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-check
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_CHECK (set to true)
Commands:
When passed in, run hclfmt in check only mode instead of actively overwriting the files. This will cause the
command to exit with exit code 1 if there are any files that are not formatted.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-diff
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_DIFF (set to true)
Commands:
When passed in, running hclfmt will print diff between original and modified file versions.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-hclfmt-file
Requires an argument: --terragrunt-hclfmt-file /path/to/terragrunt.hcl
Commands:
When passed in, run hclfmt only on specified hcl file.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-override-attr
Requires an argument: --terragrunt-override-attr ATTR=VALUE
Override the attribute named ATTR with the value VALUE in a provider block as part of the aws-provider-patch
command. May be specified multiple times. Also, ATTR can specify attributes within a nested
block by specifying <BLOCK>.<ATTR>, where <BLOCK> is the block name: e.g., assume_role.role arn will override the
role_arn attribute of the assume_role { ... } block.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-json-out
Requires an argument: --terragrunt-json-out /path/to/terragrunt_rendered.json
Commands:
When passed in, render the json representation in this file.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-modules-that-include
Requires an argument: --terragrunt-modules-that-include /path/to/included-terragrunt.hcl
Commands:
When passed in, run-all will only run the command against Terragrunt modules that include the specified file.
This applies to the set of modules that are identified based on all the existing criteria for deciding which modules to include. For example, consider the following folder structure:
.
├── _envcommon
│ └── data-stores
│ └── aurora.hcl
├── dev
│ └── us-west-2
│ └── dev
│ ├── data-stores
│ │ └── aurora
│ │ └── terragrunt.hcl
│ └── networking
│ └── vpc
│ └── terragrunt.hcl
└── stage
└── us-west-2
└── stage
├── data-stores
│ └── aurora
│ └── terragrunt.hcl
└── networking
└── vpc
└── terragrunt.hcl
Suppose that both dev/us-west-2/dev/data-stores/aurora/terragrunt.hcl and
stage/us-west-2/stage/data-stores/aurora/terragrunt.hcl had the following contents:
include "envcommon" {
path = "../../../../../_envcommon/data-stores/aurora.hcl"
}
If you run the command run-all init --terragrunt-modules-that-include ../_envcommon/data-stores/aurora.hcl from the
dev folder, only dev/us-west-2/dev/data-stores/aurora will be run; not stage/us-west-2/stage/data-stores/aurora.
This is because run-all by default restricts the modules to only those that are direct descendents of the current
folder you are running from. If you also pass in --terragrunt-include-dir ../stage, then it will now include
stage/us-west-2/stage/data-stores/aurora because now the stage folder is in consideration.
In other words, Terragrunt will always first find all the modules that should be included before applying this filter, and then will apply this filter on the set of modules that it found.
You can pass this argument in multiple times to provide a list of include files to consider. When multiple files are passed in, the set will be the union of modules that includes at least one of the files in the list.
NOTE: When using relative paths, the paths are relative to the working directory. This is either the current working directory, or any path passed in to terragrunt-working-dir.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-fetch-dependency-output-from-state
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_FETCH_DEPENDENCY_OUTPUT_FROM_STATE (set to true)
When using many dependencies, this option can speed up the dependency processing by fetching dependency output directly from the state file instead of init dependencies and running terraform on them. NOTE: This is an experimental feature, use with caution. Currently only AWS S3 backend is supported.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-use-partial-parse-config-cache
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_USE_PARTIAL_PARSE_CONFIG_CACHE (set to true)
This flag can be used to drastically decrease time required for parsing Terragrunt files. The effect will only show if a lot of similar includes are expected such as the root terragrunt.hcl include. NOTE: This is an experimental feature, use with caution.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-include-module-prefix
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_INCLUDE_MODULE_PREFIX (set to true)
When this flag is set output from Terraform sub-commands is prefixed with module path.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-fail-on-state-bucket-creation
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_FAIL_ON_STATE_BUCKET_CREATION (set to true)
When this flag is set, Terragrunt will fail and exit if it is necessary to create the remote state bucket.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-disable-bucket-update
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_DISABLE_BUCKET_UPDATE (set to true)
When this flag is set, Terragrunt does not update the remote state bucket, which is useful to set if the state bucket is managed by a third party.
CLI Arg: --terragrunt-disable-command-validation
Environment Variable: TERRAGRUNT_DISABLE_COMMAND_VALIDATION (set to true)
When this flag is set, Terragrunt will not validate the terraform command, which can be useful when need to use non-existent commands in hooks.
