What is hcledit?
hcledit is a command-line editor for HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) files. It enables programmatic manipulation of HCL2 configurations through a suite of editing operations, allowing users to read, modify, and write HCL content via stdin/stdout or in-place updates. It solves the problem of automating changes to HCL files while preserving comments and structure.
Developers and DevOps engineers working with HCL-based configurations, particularly those using Terraform or other HashiCorp tools, who need to automate refactoring, updates, or bulk edits of HCL files.
Developers choose hcledit for its token-based editing that maintains comments, its schemaless design that works with any HCL2 file, and its CLI-friendly interface that integrates seamlessly into automation pipelines without requiring external dependencies.
