It turns plan files or JSON plan output into tables, trees, Markdown, HTML, or JSON summaries for humans reviewing infrastructure changes. ### Project history The repository began in January 2022 with an initial table-format implementation and was quickly renamed from a state-focused name to a plan-focused tool. Early commits added tree output, color, file/stdin reading, and command-line flags. The README frames the tool around the common problem that large Terraform plans obscure the few resource changes reviewers care about. It added installation paths for Go, Homebrew, asdf, Docker, GitHub Actions, release downloads, and source builds. ### Adoption history The tag history starts with v0.0.1 in March 2022 and continues through a long v0.3 series into 2026. The input package facts also show availability through Homebrew, Nix, and Scoop, which is broad for a small Terraform companion utility. ### How it is used Typical usage is `terraform plan -out=tfplan` followed by `tf-summarize tfplan`, or `terraform show -json tfplan | tf-summarize`. CI examples include GitHub Actions, Codefresh, and workflows that post Terraform plan summaries to pull requests. ### Why package nerds care tf-summarize matters in package-manager niches because it is the sort of small, scriptable CLI that teams add to Terraform review pipelines. Its value is not managing infrastructure directly, but making package-installed automation easier to read in terminals and CI comments. ### Timeline - 2022-01-13: Initial table-format commit - 2022-01-18: Repository and file naming shifted from state to plan - 2022-03-21: v0.0.1 tag - 2023-04-29: v0.3.0 tag - 2024-11-30: v0.3.14 tag - 2026-03-04: v0.3.20 tag ### Related projects - Terraform is the source of plan files and JSON input. - setup-tf-summarize is documented as a GitHub Action setup path. - asdf plugin support and Docker images are documented installation options. ### Sources - Official git tags and commit history from https://github.com/dineshba/tf-summarize - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** tf-summarize - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - tf-summarize: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/tf/tf-summarize/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Scoop - main/tf-summarize: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/tf-summarize.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Cloud CLI packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/cloud-clis/) - Belongs to a cloud or infrastructure command family. - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [iam-policy-json-to-terraform](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/iam-policy-json-to-terraform/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, infrastructure-as-code, terraform. - [terraform-docs](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/terraform-docs/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, infrastructure-as-code, terraform. - [tf-profile](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/tf-profile/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, infrastructure-as-code, terraform. - [tfautomv](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/tfautomv/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, infrastructure-as-code, terraform. - [tfclean](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/tfclean/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, infrastructure-as-code, terraform. - [tfcmt](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/tfcmt/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, github-actions, terraform. - [tfenv](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/tfenv/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, infrastructure-as-code, terraform. - [tfmcp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/tfmcp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, infrastructure-as-code, terraform. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
