Terraform State Mover

Helps refactoring terraform code by offering an interactive prompt for the terraform state mv command.

Installation

Using homebrew:

brew install mbode/tap/terraform-state-mover

Alternatively, get a pre-built binary from the latest release or build it yourself using

go get github.com/mbode/terraform-state-mover

Usage

terraform-state-mover # inside a Terraform root directory

Extra arguments after a -- are passed to the terraform plan call. This makes the following possible:

terraform-state-mover -- -var key=value  # set variables
terraform-state-mover -- -var-file=variables.tfvars  # use variable files
terraform-state-mover -- -refresh=false  # skip state refresh
terraform-state-mover -- -parallelism=50  # speed up plan by using more concurrent operations

Hint: If terraform-state-mover is used with the Google Cloud Platform provider and remote state, it is recommended to use --delay=2s, otherwise API rate limits error might occur.
