Instantiate a Bundle via CLI

Prerequisites

• Terramate CLI installed
• At least one bundle available (local /bundles or a configured remote catalog)

Steps

1. Scaffold

terramate scaffold

• Select a bundle (local or from remote collections)
• Fill in requested inputs
• The instantiation file is written to the path defined by the bundle’s scaffolding config

2. Generate

terramate generate

• Creates missing stacks defined by the bundle
• Generates Terraform/OpenTofu code into those stacks

Single-command alternative

terramate scaffold --generate

This scaffolds the bundle and runs terramate generate in one step.

Expected result

• New bundle instantiation file (HCL/YAML)
• Generated code in the target stacks, ready for plan/apply with your existing tooling
