| description | The `terraform get` command is used to download and update modules. |
The terraform get command is used to download and update
modules.
Usage: terraform get [options] [dir]
The modules are downloaded into a local .terraform folder. This
folder should not be committed to version control. The .terraform
folder is created relative to your current working directory
regardless of the dir argument given to this command.
If a module is already downloaded and the -update flag is not set,
Terraform will do nothing. As a result, it is safe (and fast) to run this
command multiple times.
The command-line flags are all optional. The list of available flags are:
-update- If specified, modules that are already downloaded will be checked for updates and the updates will be downloaded if present.
