Tfenv
tfenv is a Terraform version manager and command-line utility designed to install and switch between multiple versions of the Terraform CLI on a single local system. It functions as a binary switcher that ensures consistent infrastructure as code tooling across different projects and team environments.
The utility manages active executable versions through environment variables and local configuration files. It supports project version pinning to lock specific versions for different environments or client projects, preventing compatibility issues during collaboration.
The tool provides utilities for downloading and installing specific or latest versions, listing available releases, and uninstalling local binaries. These operations are supported by a local version registry, checksum-verified artifact downloads, and symbolic link switching to update the active executable in the system path.
