tgswitch

Terragrunt Switcher

The tgswitch command line tool lets you switch between different versions of terragrunt. If you do not have a particular version of terragrunt installed, tgswitch will download the version you desire. The installation is minimal and easy. Once installed, simply select the version you require from the dropdown and start using terragrunt.

How to use:

Use dropdown menu to select version

1. You can switch between different versions of terragrunt by typing the command tgswitch on your terminal.
2. Select the version of terragrunt you require by using the up and down arrow.
3. Hit Enter to select the desired version.

The most recently selected versions are presented at the top of the dropdown.

Supply version on command line

1. You can also supply the desired version as an argument on the command line.
2. For example, tgswitch 0.37.1 for version 0.37.1 of terragrunt.
3. Hit Enter to switch.

Use environment variables

1. You can also set the TG_VERSION environment variable to your desired terragrunt version. For example:

export TG_VERSION=0.37.0
tgswitch #will automatically switch to terragrunt version 0.37.0

Use .tgswitch.toml file (For non-admin AND Apple M1 users with limited privilege on their computers)

Specify a custom binary path for your terragrunt installation

1. Create a custom binary path. Ex: mkdir /Users/uveerum/bin (replace uveerum with your username)
2. Add the path to your PATH. Ex: export PATH=$PATH:/Users/uveerum/bin (add this to your bash profile or zsh profile)
3. Pass -b or --bin parameter with your custom path to install terragrunt. Ex: tgswitch -b /Users/uveerum/bin/terragrunt 0.34.0
4. Optionally, you can create a .tgswitch.toml file in your terragrunt directory(current directory) OR in your home directory(~/.tgswitch.toml). The toml file in the current directory has a higher precedence than toml file in the home directory
5. Your .tgswitch.toml file should look like this:

bin = "/usr/local/bin/terragrunt"
version = "0.34.0"

1. Run tgswitch and it should automatically install the required terragrunt version in the specified binary path

NOTE

1. For linux users that do not have write permission to /usr/local/bin/, tgswitch will attempt to install terragrunt at $HOME/bin. Run export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin to append bin to PATH
2. For windows host, tgswitch need to be run under Administrator mode, and $HOME/.tgswitch.toml with bin must be defined (with a valid path) as minimum, below is an example for $HOME/.tgswitch.toml on windows

bin = "C:\\Users\\<%USRNAME%>\\bin\\terragrunt.exe"

Use .tgswitchrc file

1. Create a .tgswitchrc file containing the desired version
2. For example, echo "0.33.0" >> .tgswitchrc for version 0.33.0 of terragrunt
3. Run the command tgswitch in the same directory as your .tgswitchrc

Instead of a .tgswitchrc file, a .terragrunt-version file may be used as well

Use terragrunt.hcl file

If a terragrunt.hcl file with the terragrunt constrain is included in the current directory, it should automatically download or switch to that terragrunt version. For example, the following should automatically switch terragrunt to version 0.36.0:

terragrunt_version_constraint = ">= 0.36, < 0.36.1"
...

Get the version from a subdirectory

tgswitch --chdir terragrunt_dir
tgswitch -c terragrunt_dir

Automatically switch with bash

Add the following to the end of your ~/.bashrc file: (Use either .tgswitchrc or .tgswitch.toml or .terragrunt-version)

cdtgswitch(){
  builtin cd "$@";
  cdir=$PWD;
  if [ -e "$cdir/.tgswitchrc" ]; then
    tgswitch
  fi
}
alias cd='cdtgswitch'

Automatically switch with zsh

Add the following to the end of your ~/.zshrc file:

load-tgswitch() {
  local tgswitchrc_path=".tgswitchrc"

  if [ -f "$tgswitchrc_path" ]; then
    tgswitch
  fi
}
add-zsh-hook chpwd load-tgswitch
load-tgswitch

NOTE: if you see an error like this: command not found: add-zsh-hook, then you might be on an older version of zsh (see below), or you simply need to load add-zsh-hook by adding this to your .zshrc:

autoload -U add-zsh-hook

older version of zsh

cd(){
  builtin cd "$@";
  cdir=$PWD;
  if [ -e "$cdir/.tgswitchrc" ]; then
    tgswitch
  fi
}
