Its README describes it as a successor to tofuenv and tfenv, with extra infrastructure-as-code awareness and cross-platform binary distribution. ### Project history The GitHub repository was created in January 2024, shortly after OpenTofu became a prominent Terraform-compatible tool. The project consolidated separate environment-manager patterns for Terraform and OpenTofu into one executable that also manages adjacent tools used in IaC workflows. ### Adoption history The official README documents broad package availability across Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, Scoop, WinGet, Chocolatey, Snap, Alpine, Debian/Ubuntu, RedHat, Arch/AUR, Cloudsmith repositories, and Docker. The supplied package metadata also records Homebrew, apk, MacPorts, Nix, Scoop, Ubuntu, and WinGet entries. ### How it is used Users run `tenv ` to install, use, detect, reset, uninstall, and list versions for OpenTofu, Terraform, Terragrunt, Terramate, and Atmos. The docs emphasize version files, HCL-based required-version detection, semver constraints, signature verification, and compatibility with tfenv and tofuenv command habits. ### Why package nerds care tenv is significant for package nerds because it sits at the junction of packaging, IaC reproducibility, and the Terraform-to-OpenTofu transition. It offers one binary with package-manager-friendly releases, shell completions, version-file conventions, checksum and signature checks, and aliases that preserve older tfenv/tofuenv workflows. ### Timeline - 2024-01-05: GitHub repository created. - 2024-01-23: v1.0.4 release published. - 2024-05-14: v1.11.0 release published. - 2026-04-29: v4.12.0 release published. - 2026-06-10: v4.14.8 release published. ### Related projects - The README explicitly identifies tofuenv and tfenv as predecessors, compares tenv with asdf, and targets OpenTofu, Terraform, Terragrunt, Terramate, and Atmos. ### Sources - - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
