Version Control with Git
Integrate your Terraform configurations with Git for version control, branching, merging, and collaborative development.
Git for Infrastructure
Managing infrastructure as code (IaC) means treating your infrastructure configurations like software code. Just like software, these configurations benefit greatly from version control.
Git is the most popular tool for version control. It helps you track changes, collaborate with teammates, and revert to previous versions if something goes wrong with your Terraform.
Initialize Git in Terraform
To start tracking your Terraform project, you first need to initialize a Git repository in your project's root directory. This creates a hidden .git folder.
Let's imagine you have a main.tf file ready.
git init
