Overview

tfenv is a simple yet powerful command-line tool that allows you to install, uninstall, and switch between different versions of Terraform. It is inspired by tools like `rbenv` and `pyenv`. This is essential for developers and teams who work on multiple projects that may have dependencies on specific Terraform versions, ensuring a consistent and reproducible environment for each project.

✨ Key Features

  • Install multiple Terraform versions
  • Switch between installed versions easily
  • Set per-project Terraform versions via a `.terraform-version` file
  • Automatically uses the correct version for a project
  • Simple shell script-based implementation

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Singular focus on managing Terraform versions.
  • Widely adopted and considered a standard tool in the community.
  • Simple and reliable shell-based implementation.

Unique Value: Solves the common problem of managing multiple Terraform versions across different projects, ensuring consistency and preventing version-related errors.

🎯 Use Cases (4)
