// Package depsfile contains the logic for reading and writing Terraform's // dependency lock and development override configuration files. // // These files are separate from the main Terraform configuration files (.tf) // for a number of reasons. The first is to help establish a distinction // where .tf files configure a particular module while these configure // a whole configuration tree. Another, more practical consideration is that // we intend both of these files to be primarily maintained automatically by // Terraform itself, rather than by human-originated edits, and so keeping // them separate means that it's easier to distinguish the files that Terraform // will change automatically during normal workflow from the files that // Terraform only edits on direct request. // // Both files use HCL syntax, for consistency with other files in Terraform // that we expect humans to (in this case, only occasionally) edit directly. // A dependency lock file tracks the most recently selected upstream versions // of each dependency, and is intended for checkin to version control. // A development override file allows for temporarily overriding upstream // dependencies with local files/directories on disk as an aid to testing // a cross-codebase change during development, and should not be saved in // version control. package depsfile
