Behind the scenes

How are identified applicable files

  • File extensions: .hcl
  • File name don't ends with: .tflint.hcl

How the linting is performed

  • terragrunt is called one time by identified file (file CLI lint mode)

Example calls

terragrunt hclfmt --terragrunt-check --terragrunt-hclfmt-file myfile.hcl

terragrunt hclfmt --terragrunt-check --terragrunt-config terragrunt.hcl --terragrunt-hclfmt-file myfile.hcl

NAME:
   terragrunt - Terragrunt is a thin wrapper for Terraform that provides extra tools for working with multiple
                Terraform modules, remote state, and locking. For documentation, see https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt/.

USAGE:
   terragrunt <command> [options]

COMMANDS:
   aws-provider-patch     Overwrite settings on nested AWS providers to work around a Terraform bug (issue #13018).
   catalog                Launch the user interface for searching and managing your module catalog.
   graph                  Execute commands on the full graph of dependent modules for the current module, ensuring correct execution order.
   graph-dependencies     Prints the terragrunt dependency graph to stdout.
   hclfmt                 Recursively find hcl files and rewrite them into a canonical format.
   output-module-groups   Output groups of modules ordered by command (apply or destroy) as a list of list in JSON (useful for CI use cases).
   render-json            Render the final terragrunt config, with all variables, includes, and functions resolved, as json.
   run-all                Run a terraform command against a 'stack' by running the specified command in each subfolder.
   scaffold               Scaffold a new Terragrunt module.
   terragrunt-info        Emits limited terragrunt state on stdout and exits.
   validate-inputs        Checks if the terragrunt configured inputs align with the terraform defined variables.
   *                      Terragrunt forwards all other commands directly to Terraform
