tfsort
A CLI utility that sorts Terraform variable, output, locals, and terraform blocks alphabetically and corrects spacing.
What is tfsort?
tfsort is a command-line utility that automatically sorts Terraform configuration blocks—such as variables, outputs, locals, and terraform sections—alphabetically within HCL files. It solves the problem of disorganized Terraform code by enforcing a consistent order and fixing spacing issues, making Infrastructure as Code (IaC) more readable and maintainable.
Terraform engineers, DevOps practitioners, and infrastructure developers who work with HCL files and want to automate code organization and formatting.
Developers choose tfsort for its simplicity, flexibility, and focus on Terraform-specific formatting. It offers recursive directory processing, dry-run previews, and support for multiple input/output methods without requiring complex configuration.
