tenv

OpenTofu, Terraform, Terragrunt, and Atmos version manager, written in Go.
· Report Bug · Request Feature

About The Project

Welcome to tenv, a versatile version manager for OpenTofu, Terraform, Terragrunt and Atmos, written in Go. Our tool simplifies the complexity of handling different versions of these powerful tools, ensuring developers and DevOps professionals can focus on what matters most - building and deploying efficiently.

tenv is a successor of tofuenv and tfenv.

Key Features

Versatile version management: Easily switch between different versions of OpenTofu, Terraform, Terragrunt and Atmos.
Semver 2.0.0 Compatibility: Utilizes go-version for semantic versioning and use the HCL parser to extract required version constraint from OpenTofu/Terraform/Terragrunt files (see required_version and Terragrunt hcl).
Signature verification: Supports cosign (if present on your machine) and PGP (via gopenpgp), see signature support.
Intuitive installation: Simple installation process with Homebrew and manual options.

Difference with asdf

asdf-vm share the same goals than tenv : simplify the usage of several version of tools.

asdf-vm is generic and extensible with a plugin system, key tenv differences :

tenv is more specific and has features dedicated to OpenTofu, Terraform, Terragrunt and Atmos, like HCL parsing based detection (see Key Features).
tenv is distributed as independent binaries and does not rely on any shell or other CLI executable.
tenv does better in terms of performance and platform compatibility. It works uniformly across all modern operating systems, including Linux, MacOS, Windows, BSD, and Solaris, whereas asdf-vm natively supports only Linux and MacOS.
tenv checks the sha256 checksum and the signature of the checksum file with cosign. Check Signature support section for getting more information about it.
tenv command compatibility: In nearly all places you can use the exact syntax that works in tfenv / tofuenv. If you're coming from tfenv/tofuenv and comfortable with that way of working you can almost always use the same syntax with tenv.
tenv performance: It sounds incredibly useful, though it might be tough to get a real apples to apples comparison since the tools work differently in a lot of ways. The author of asdf did a great writeup of performance problems. asdf-vm is written in bash which certainly makes it challenging to be performant, whereas tenv is written in Golang and works much faster.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

If you need to enable cosign checks, install cosign (v.2.0+) tool via one of the following commands:

MacOS (Homebrew)

brew install cosign

Windows (go install)

go install github.com/sigstore/cosign/v2/cmd/cosign@latest

Alpine Linux

apk add cosign

Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S cosign

tenv completion bash > ~/.tenv.completion.bash
echo "source '~/.tenv.completion.bash'" >> ~/.zshrc

fish

tenv completion fish > ~/.tenv.completion.fish
echo "source '~/.tenv.completion.fish'" >> ~/.zshrc

Usage

tenv supports OpenTofu, Terragrunt, Terraform and Atmos. To manage each binary you can use tenv <tool> <command>. Below is a list of tools and commands that use actual subcommands:

tool (alias)	env vars	description
`tofu` (`opentofu`)	TOFUENV_	OpenTofu
`tf` (`terraform`)	TFENV_	Terraform
`tg` (`terragrunt`)	TG_	Terragrunt
`at` (`atmos`)	ATMOS_	Atmos

tenv <tool> install [version]

Install a requested version of the tool (into TENV_ROOT directory from <TOOL>_REMOTE url).

Without a parameter, the version to use is resolved automatically (see resolution order in tools description, with latest as default in place of latest-allowed).

If a parameter is passed, available options include:

an exact Semver 2.0.0 version string to install.
a version constraint string (checked against versions available at <TOOL>_REMOTE url).
latest, latest-stable (old name of latest) or latest-pre (include unstable version), which are checked against versions available at <TOOL>_REMOTE url.
latest:<re> or min:<re> to get first version matching with <re> as a regexp after a descending or ascending version sort.
latest-allowed or min-required to scan your IAC files to detect which version is maximally allowed or minimally required. See required_version docs.

export PATH=$(tenv update-path)

tenv version

Display tenv current version.

$ tenv version

e.g. with :

$ atmos version
👽 Atmos v1.72.0 on linux/amd64

then :

$ ATMOS_VERSION=1.70 atmos version
👽 Atmos v1.70.0 on linux/amd64

version files

default version file

The TENV_ROOT/<TOOL>/version file is the tool default version used when no project specific or user specific are found. It can be written with tenv <tool> use.

opentofu version files

If you put a .opentofu-version file in the working directory, one of its parent directory, or user home directory, tenv detects it and uses the version written in it. Note, that TOFUENV_TOFU_VERSION can be used to override version specified by .opentofu-version file.

Recognize same values as tenv tofu use command.

See required_version docs.

terraform version files

If you put a .terraform-version or .tfswitchrc file in the working directory, one of its parent directory, or user home directory, tenv detects it and uses the version written in it. Note, that TFENV_TERRAFORM_VERSION can be used to override version specified by those files.

Recognize same values as tenv tf use command.

See required_version docs.

terragrunt version files

If you put a .terragrunt-version or a .tgswitchrc file in the working directory, one of its parent directory, or user home directory, tenv detects it and uses the version written in it. tenv also detect a version field in a .tgswitch.toml in same places. Note, that TG_VERSION can be used to override version specified by those files.

Recognize same values as tenv tg use command.

terragrunt.hcl file

If you have a terragrunt.hcl or terragrunt.hcl.json in the working directory, one of its parent directory, or user home directory, tenv will read constraint from terraform_version_constraint or terragrunt_version_constraint field in it (depending on proxy or subcommand used).

atmos version files

If you put a .atmos-version file in the working directory, one of its parent directory, or user home directory, tenv detects it and uses the version written in it. Note, that ATMOS_VERSION can be used to override version specified by those files.

Recognize same values as tenv atmos use command.

required_version

the latest-allowed or min-required strategies scan through your IAC files (see list in project binaries) and identify a version conforming to the constraint in the relevant files. They fallback to latest when no IAC files and no default constraint are found, and can optionally be used with a default constraint as detailed in project binaries.

Currently the format for Terraform required_version and OpenTofu required_version are very similar, however this may change over time, always refer to docs for the latest format specification.

example:

version = ">= 1.2.0, < 2.0.0"

This would identify the latest version at or above 1.2.0 and below 2.0.0
