terraform-fmt: Do not list files that were formatted to `stdout`.
$ terraform fmt -list=false
try on your machine
The command terraform fmt -list=false
is used in the Terraform command-line interface (CLI). Here's what it does:
-
terraform fmt
: This command is used to automatically update the formatting of your Terraform configuration files. It helps to maintain a consistent and readable format across your codebase. -
-list=false
: This flag is used to disable listing the files being modified or checked. By default, when you runterraform fmt
, it will display a list of files that have been modified. However, using-list=false
will prevent this list from being displayed, providing a cleaner command output.
So, when you execute terraform fmt -list=false
, Terraform will automatically format your configuration files without showing a list of the modified files.
