terraformat

A wrapper for the Terraform CLI that provides a formatted plan summary.

Overview

terraformat is a command-line tool designed to improve the readability of terraform plan outputs. It runs your Terraform plan and summarizes the planned resource changes (create, update, destroy) in a color-coded, tabular format. This helps teams more quickly and safely review infrastructure changes before applying them.

Features

• Runs any terraform command, but enhances terraform plan with a summary table
• Color-coded output for quick identification of create (green), update (yellow), and destroy (red) actions
• Parses complex Terraform resource addresses, including those in modules
• Integrates seamlessly into existing Terraform workflows

Installation

pip install .
pip install git+https://github.com/henryupton/terraformat.git

Requirements

• Python 3.7+
• Terraform installed and available in your PATH

Python dependencies (installed automatically):

• click
• tabulate

Usage

After installation, you can use terraformat as a drop-in replacement for terraform. All commands are passed through to Terraform, but plan will be summarized:

terraformat plan [ARGS...]
