Setup Terraform GitHub Action

Set up your GitHub Actions workflow with a specific version of Terraform.

Special Notice

From version v3.0.0, the inputs and outputs are changed to dash-separated version (terraform-version, terraform-version-file, terraform-path).

This convention aligns with the YAML style guide and is more prevalent in the GitHub Actions community and documentation.

Usage

The next example step will install Terraform 1.2.8.

name: Example workflow

on: [push]

jobs:
  example:
    name: Example Terraform interaction
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Setup Terraform
        uses: autero1/action-terraform@v3
        with:
          terraform-version: 1.2.8
      - name: Interact with Terraform
        run: terraform --version

If you want to use a version file, e.g. .terraform-version, you can use the following example:

  example:
    name: Example Terraform interaction
