README

tf-init-booster

When running terraform on a project with many modules, sourced from git, the operation to run terraform init becomes very slow. This tool will speedup that process by cloning the git repositoy once, and copy a checked out working tree to the .terraform/modules folder. Any module references pointing to the same repository and branch are using a symlink instead of duplicating the module sources.

Usage

Run tf-init-booster before you run terraform init. The tool will download all required modules in advance.

Git-Crypt

When the environment variable GIT_CRYPT_KEY is set, the tool will execute git-crypt unlock after downloading the module sources.
