tfctx

Simple oh-my-zsh plugin that lets you jump between Terraform back-end configurations with a single command and shows the active environment in your prompt.

envs/
├── dev/
│   ├── config.hcl
│   └── variables.tfvars
└── prod/
    ├── config.hcl
    └── variables.tfvars

Features

• tfctx : switches and controls both the -backend-config and -var-file arguments for you.
• optional automatic terraform init (enabled by default)
• tab-completion of available environments
• $(tfctx_prompt_info) helper to show in your terminal prompt will show the active tfenv.

Custom enviornment detection

You can override the detection functionality to your own custom function using the below as an example.

Two arguments are passed to this function, the Terraform root directory path that was detected, and the path to the terraform.tfstate file.

tfctx_detect_env() { echo "dev"; }

But by default it uses jq, and compares the current tfstate key to your environment configurations to find a matching key used by your s3 remote.
