Use this guide to help you get started when working on this repository.
Use tfenv to install the version of Terraform specified in the .terraform-version file:
brew install tfenv
tfenv installWe split data out from the Terraform manifests. Please see this ADR for context.
Data used to configure terraform is stored in the govuk-aws-data repo. Follow the instructions in that repository for up-to-date information on how to work with data.
This repo uses pre-commit for managing its pre-commit hooks. This is available via brew:
brew install pre-commit
The pre-commit hooks are configured in the .pre-commit-config.yaml file in the root of this repo. To make the pre-commit hooks work you first need to install the pre-commit shim in your local .git/hooks directory:
pre-commit install
This will now run the hooks configured in .pre-commit-config.yaml when you run a
git commit and will pass each hook the list of files staged as part of the
commit. You can test the hooks by doing:
pre-commit run
You can also run the hooks on all files to test the status of the entire repo. This might be useful, for example, as part of a PR builder job:
pre-commit run --all-files
The code for this, and this documentation itself, were taken from excellent work done by the GOV.UK Verify team in GDS.
Please follow the styleguide when developing in the repository.
