terraform

Two-letter-ish aliases for the whole Terraform lifecycle, completion, and a tf_prompt_info function that shows the active workspace in the prompt.

Alias	Runs
tf	terraform
tfi / tfiu	init / init -upgrade
tfp / tfpo	plan / plan -out tfplan
tfa / tfapp	apply / apply tfplan
tfa! / tfd!	apply / destroy with -auto-approve
tff / tffr	fmt / fmt -recursive
tfwl / tfws	workspace list / select

Pro tips

• The plan-file loop is the safe default: tfpo writes tfplan, review it, tfapp applies exactly that plan — no drift between what you read and what runs. Save tfa! for throwaway sandboxes.
• Workspace awareness is free: tf_prompt_info reads .terraform/environment and shows [workspace] in the prompt (hidden for default in $HOME). For occasional infra work, that's the guard against applying to the wrong workspace after weeks away — glance before tfa.
• tfwl then tfws <name> is the two-command re-orientation when returning to a repo cold.
• Provider/backend errors after a git pull? tfiu (init -upgrade) fixes most of them; tfir (init -reconfigure) handles backend config changes.
• tffr before committing keeps .tf diffs about substance, not whitespace — it recurses into modules, unlike plain tff.
