# Terraform Commands (CLI)
|
|
|
|
Terraform is controlled via a very easy to use command-line interface (CLI).
|
|
Terraform is only a single command-line application: terraform. This application
|
|
then takes a subcommand such as "apply" or "plan". The complete list of subcommands
|
|
is in the navigation to the left.
|
|
|
|
The terraform CLI is a well-behaved command line application. In erroneous cases,
|
|
a non-zero exit status will be returned. It also responds to -h and --help as you'd
|
|
most likely expect.
|
|
|
|
To view a list of the available commands at any time, just run terraform with no arguments:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ terraform
|
|
usage: terraform [--version] [--help] <command> [<args>]
|
|
|
|
Available commands are:
|
|
apply Builds or changes infrastructure
|
|
destroy Destroy Terraform-managed infrastructure
|
|
get Download and install modules for the configuration
|
|
graph Create a visual graph of Terraform resources
|
|
init Initializes Terraform configuration from a module
|
|
output Read an output from a state file
|
|
plan Generate and show an execution plan
|
|
refresh Update local state file against real resources
|
|
remote Configure remote state storage
|
|
show Inspect Terraform state or plan
|
|
taint Manually mark a resource for recreation
|
|
version Prints the Terraform version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To get help for any specific command, pass the -h flag to the relevant subcommand. For example,
|
|
to see help about the members subcommand:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ terraform graph -h
|
|
Usage: terraform graph [options] PATH
|
|
|
|
Outputs the visual graph of Terraform resources. If the path given is
|
|
the path to a configuration, the dependency graph of the resources are
|
|
shown. If the path is a plan file, then the dependency graph of the
|
|
plan itself is shown.
|
|
|
|
The graph is outputted in DOT format. The typical program that can
|
|
read this format is GraphViz, but many web services are also available
|
|
to read this format.
