you can create custom workflows base on branches

Thanks PePe! Are there environment variables available to grab the target branch for a PR? Do I just use raw git commands in my custom workflow to do that? In a custom workflow I can see

init

plan

and

apply

operations. I would like to avoid shelling out to raw terraform commands because it seems to be causing some trouble with locking.

there are , look at the docs for custom workflow at the end

thanks again for the help. You are always quick to respond with useful feedback.

remember that we have support for branches at the workflow level

This is what we have but I suspect it should be simpler than this.

workflows:
  dev:
    plan:
      steps:
        - init
        - run: if [ "$BASE_BRANCH_NAME" = "develop" ]; then terraform plan -var-file=environment.tfvars -out=./tfplan; else echo "Skipping plan for this branch"; fi
    apply:
      steps:
        - run: if [ "$BASE_BRANCH_NAME" = "develop" ]; then terraform apply -auto-approve ./tfplan; else echo "Skipping apply for this branch"; fi
  production_workflow:
    plan:
      steps:
        - init
        - run: if [ "$BASE_BRANCH_NAME" = "main" ]; then terraform plan -var-file=environment.tfvars -out=./tfplan; else echo "Skipping plan for this branch"; fi
    apply:
      steps:
        - run: if [ "$BASE_BRANCH_NAME" = "main" ]; then terraform apply -auto-approve ./tfplan; else echo "Skipping apply for this branch"; fi

we ha a new branch parameter , you do not ned to dk those run commands anymore

I am having trouble finding that in the docs I will go search some more.

omg how did I miss that?

glad to hear
