Create ​

The create command creates a new stack. This command accepts a path that will be used to create the stack. The create command will create intermediate directories as required. Whenever the create command is used, the code generation will run automatically to ensure all code relevant for the newly created stack will be generated.

Usage ​

terramate create [options] PATH

Examples ​

Create a new stack:

terramate create path/to/stack

Complete Example:

terramate create path/to/stack \
    --name foo-stack \
    --description "This is an example" \
    --tags app,prd \
    --after ../../after-another-stack,../../after-this-stack \
    --before ../../before-this-stack,../../before-another-stack \
    --ignore-existing \
    --no-generate

Initialize Terramate in an existing Terraform project:

terramate create --all-terraform

This is helpful when you want to onboard Terramate in an existing Terraform project. --all-terraform will create a Terramate configuration file in every Terraform directory that contain a terraform.backend block or provider blocks.

Options ​

• --id=STRING ID of the stack. Defaults to a random UUIDv4 (Using the default is highly recommended).
• --name=STRING Name of the stack. Defaults to stack dir base name.
• --description=STRING Description of the stack. Defaults to the stack name.
• --tags=LIST Adds tags to the stack. Example: --tags a --tags b or --tags a,b.
• --import=LIST Add import block for the given path on the stack. Example: --import dir/path1 --import dir/path2 or --import dir/path1,dir/path2
• --after=LIST, --before=LIST Define an explicit order of execution. LIST can contain relative paths ../path/to/stack and/or tags tag:my-tag. These options can be used multiple times.
• --ignore-existing If the stack already exists do nothing and don't fail.
• --all-terraform Initialize Terramate in all directories containing terraform.backend blocks.
• --ensure-stack-ids Ensures that every stack has an UUID.
• --no-generate Disable code generation for the newly created stack.
