How to use: Copy the entire minimal-project/ directory to your desired location and customize the files as needed.

Using Templates

To use a template, copy its directory to your project location:

# Run from repository root
SKILL_DIR="devops-skills-plugin/skills/terraform-generator"
cp -r "${SKILL_DIR}/assets/minimal-project/" ./my-terraform-project/
cd my-terraform-project
cp terraform.tfvars.example terraform.tfvars
# Edit terraform.tfvars with your values
terraform init

Customization

All templates are designed to be starting points. You should:

1. Update the provider configuration in versions.tf
   • Use major-version pinning (~>) and verify exact current versions when required.
2. Add your resources to main.tf
3. Update variables in variables.tf as needed
4. Configure outputs in outputs.tf
5. Set values in terraform.tfvars
