The tofu get command is used to download and update modules mentioned in the root module.

Usage​

Usage: tofu get [options]

The modules are downloaded into a .terraform subdirectory of the current working directory. Don't commit this directory to your version control repository.

The get command supports the following option:

• -update - If specified, modules that are already downloaded will be checked for updates and the updates will be downloaded if present.

• -no-color - Disable text coloring in the output.

• -json Produce output in a machine-readable JSON format, suitable for use in text editor integrations and other automated systems. Always disables color.

• -var 'NAME=VALUE' - Sets a value for a single input variable declared in the root module of the configuration. Use this option multiple times to set more than one variable. Refer to Input Variables on the Command Line for more information.

• -var-file=FILENAME - Sets values for potentially many input variables declared in the root module of the configuration, using definitions from a "tfvars" file. Use this option multiple times to include values from more than one file.

There are several other ways to set values for input variables in the root module, aside from the -var and -var-file options. Refer to Assigning Values to Root Module Variables for more information.
