The official documentation describes it as a fork of Mercari's `tfnotify`, expanded for Terraform 0.15 and later and for more configurable formatting. ### Project history The project grew out of the `tfnotify` lineage: the README and documentation identify `tfcmt` as a fork of `mercari/tfnotify` v0.7.0 and preserve the original Mercari MIT license notice for the inherited code. Its own documentation copyright begins in 2021, which matches its role as a post-Terraform-0.15 replacement for teams that had outgrown the original notifier. The repository has a large commit history and a long release line, reflecting ongoing maintenance around Terraform output formatting, GitHub comment behavior, masking, Terragrunt support, GitHub Enterprise support, and related CI workflow details. ### Adoption history The README includes a public 'Who uses tfcmt?' list naming organizations such as Recruit, Cybozu, READYFOR, CADDi, ZOZO, SAKURA internet, Unipos, HMCTS, LayerX, and others. That list is an unusually direct adoption signal for a Terraform niche tool. Homebrew packages `tfcmt` as a formula, and the repository shows hundreds of GitHub stars. In package-manager terms, it is not a general Terraform frontend; it is a specialized CI companion used by teams that review infrastructure changes through pull requests. ### How it is used Typical use is in CI: run Terraform, let `tfcmt` parse the command output, render it through Go templates, update pull request labels, and post or patch a GitHub comment. The documentation emphasizes cleaner PR comment streams, hiding stale comments with `github-comment`, filtering noisy refresh output, and separating Terraform changes from non-Terraform output. The tool is GitHub-focused. The README explicitly points GitLab users to `tfcmt-gitlab`, a separate fork. ### Why package nerds care For package-nerd catalogs, `tfcmt` is significant because it represents a second-generation Terraform notifier: a fork maintained specifically to keep pace with Terraform CLI changes and modern pull-request automation. It sits in the small but important class of tools that make infrastructure-as-code review readable without requiring developers to open CI logs. Its value is operational rather than architectural: teams install it with Homebrew or other release tooling, wire it into GitHub Actions or another CI runner, and get stable, templated pull-request feedback for Terraform workflows. ### Timeline - 2018: Original `tfnotify` code carried Mercari copyright and MIT licensing. - 2021: Official tfcmt documentation copyright begins and documents the fork's Terraform 0.15+ motivation. - 2026: GitHub repository page lists v4.14.15 as the latest release and shows more than one hundred releases. ### Related projects - `mercari/tfnotify` is the upstream project from which `tfcmt` was forked. - `tfcmt-gitlab` is the GitLab-oriented fork suggested by the `tfcmt` README. - `github-comment` is documented as a companion tool for hiding stale comments. ### Sources - - - source_facts.package-manager.brew ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
