Terraform Initializer

A simple CLI tool to bootstrap Terraform projects with opinionated, standard files and provider configurations for AWS, GCP, Azure, or local backends.

Features

• Generates provider.tf based on selected backend
• Creates standard Terraform files:
  • main.tf
  • variables.tf
  • locals.tf
  • outputs.tf
• Prevents overwriting existing files
• Easy to install via PyPI

Installation

pip install terraform-initializer

Usage

Initialize a new Terraform project in the current directory (defaults to your CWD):

terraform-init aws

Or specify a target directory:

terraform-init gcp ./my-terraform-project

Supported backends:

• aws
• gcp
• azure
• local

After running, you’ll have:

provider.tf       # with backend-specific provider block
main.tf           # starter module/file
variables.tf      # placeholder for input variables
locals.tf         # placeholder for local values
outputs.tf        # placeholder for outputs

Examples

# Bootstrap an Azure Terraform project
terraform-init azure ./infra/azure

# Bootstrap local backend for CI testing
terraform-init local ./ci/terraform
