cookiecutter-terragrunt-project 0.0.1

A Cookiecutter template to scaffold scalable, multi-environment Terragrunt infrastructure projects.

cookiecutter-terragrunt-project

A Cookiecutter template to scaffold scalable, multi-environment Terragrunt infrastructure projects: a DRY root configuration (providers, GCS remote state, version pin), a per-environment config.<env>.yaml, and a set of shell helpers wrapping the Terragrunt CLI.

Features

• Multi-environment — switch between dev / staging / prod with a per-environment YAML config.
• DRY — one root terragrunt.hcl every module inherits via find_in_parent_folders().
• Batteries included — .bashrc helpers (switch_env, plan, apply, destroy, …) wrapping the modern Terragrunt CLI.
• Pairs with terragrunt-generator to populate the scaffold with per-module terragrunt.hcl files.

Requirements

• Python 3.12+
• Terraform / OpenTofu and Terragrunt (>= v0.73, new CLI)

Usage

Generate a project straight from GitHub (no install needed):

uvx cookiecutter gh:goabonga/cookiecutter-terragrunt-project
# or: cookiecutter gh:goabonga/cookiecutter-terragrunt-project

Or install the published template from PyPI and bake the bundled copy:

pip install cookiecutter-terragrunt-project
cookiecutter "$(python -c 'import cookiecutter_terragrunt_project as p; print(p.__path__[0])')"

Answer the prompts (project_name, default_environment, remote_state_bucket_name, …) and you get:

<project_slug>/
├── .bashrc                 # terragrunt helpers (switch_env, plan, apply, …)
├── config.<env>.yaml       # per-environment values
└── google/
    └── terragrunt.hcl      # root config: providers, GCS backend, versions

Day-2 workflow

source .bashrc           # adds switch_env / plan / apply / destroy / …
switch_env dev           # sets ENV=dev and the gcloud project
plan  ./google/network   # terragrunt run --all -- plan on a subtree
apply ./google/network/vpc

Development

git clone https://github.com/goabonga/cookiecutter-terragrunt-project.git
cd cookiecutter-terragrunt-project
uv sync
uv run pytest          # bake smoke tests
uvx cookiecutter .     # generate a project from the working copy
