My Workflow

A project to demonstrate how to automate terraform workflow with Github Actions.

Login to your AWS account and generate AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.
After that, login to your Terraform Cloud account. Create a new workspace and select API-driven workflow.
Then navigate to the Variables tab and click on Add variable. Add AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY with their respective values.
From your Terraform Cloud User Settings, click on Tokens and generate an API token named GitHub Actions.
Add the token to your Github repository as a secret. Name the secret TF_API_TOKEN.
Clone and open your Github repo on your code editor.
Checkout to a new branch with git checkout -b <branch-name>.
Add your changes with git add . and commit the changes with a message using git commit -m "<commit-message>".
Then push your changes with git push.
Go back to the Github repository and generate a pull request from the new branch. You can view the status of the job through the pull request created, Actions tab or the Terraform Cloud workspace.
Then merge the pull request.
