Programmatically generated handy terraform aliases.

terraform-aliases

This repository contains a script to generate hundreds of convenient terraform aliases programmatically.

NOTE: The foundation of this repository is based on the amazing work done in kubectl-aliases project by @ahmetb.

Examples

Some of the generated aliases are:

alias tf='terraform'
alias tfa='terraform apply'
alias tfc='terraform console'
alias tfd='terraform destroy'
alias tff='terraform fmt'
alias tfg='terraform graph'
alias tfim='terraform import'
alias tfin='terraform init'
...

See the full list.

Installation

You can directly download the .terraform_aliases file and save it in your $HOME directory, then edit your .bashrc/.zshrc file with:

[ -f ~/.terraform_aliases ] && source ~/.terraform_aliases

Print the full command before running it: Add this to your .bashrc or .zshrc file:

function terraform() { echo "+ terraform $@"; command terraform $@; }

Terragrunt aliases

You can directly download the .terragrunt_aliases file and save it in your $HOME directory, then edit your .bashrc/.zshrc file with:

[ -f ~/.terragrunt_aliases ] && source ~/.terragrunt_aliases

Print the full command before running it: Add this to your .bashrc or .zshrc file:

function terragrunt() { echo "+ terragrunt $@"; command terragrunt $@; }

FAQ

Does this not slow down my shell start up? Sourcing the file that contains ~500 aliases takes about 30-45 milliseconds in my shell (zsh). I don't think it's a big deal for me. Measure it with echo $(($(date +%s%N)/1000000)) command yourself in your .bashrc/.zshrc.
