history

Project history and usage

TGEnv is a Terragrunt version manager inspired by tfenv. Its README describes installing, switching, and managing multiple Terragrunt versions from one shell environment.

Project history

The current project documents itself as a fork of cunymatthieu/tgenv. Its installation docs describe a shell-based tool distributed as a Git repository, exposed through `~/.tgenv/bin`, with Homebrew support on macOS and Linux.

The documentation centers on reproducible per-project Terragrunt selection through `.terragrunt-version`, mirroring the version-file workflow familiar from tfenv and other language/runtime managers.

Adoption history

The README points to dedicated documentation for installation, usage, the `.terragrunt-version` file, environment variables, architecture, and contribution. The input metadata records Homebrew packaging.

How it is used

The normal workflow is to install TGEnv, then run commands such as `tgenv install latest` and `tgenv use latest`. The docs say `.terragrunt-version` can pin a project to a literal version, `latest`, or a regex-based latest constraint.

When a `.terragrunt-version` file is present, TGEnv resolves it by walking up from the current directory, then falling back to the user's home directory and the global `~/.tgenv/version` file. The docs recommend committing `.terragrunt-version` so new contributors install the correct Terragrunt version automatically.

Why package nerds care

tgenv is part of the version-manager family around infrastructure CLIs. For package-manager users, it keeps the Homebrew-installed manager stable while project repositories declare the Terragrunt version they need.
