Detect Terraform in any GitHub repo

Terraform is HashiCorp's infrastructure-as-code tool for provisioning cloud resources from declarative .tf files.

Why show Terraform on your README

Infrastructure-as-code is a big part of what a project actually depends on; .tf files are detected and grouped under infra.

How Terraform is detected

Stack Fingerprint reads the repo's full file tree in one GitHub API call and flags Terraform when it finds any of these:

  • Files or folders: /\.tf$/, /\.tfvars$/, terraform

Terraform README badge

A static badge you can paste anywhere in Markdown:

Terraform badge

Markdown
![Terraform](https://img.shields.io/badge/Terraform-7B42BC?style=for-the-badge&logo=terraform&logoColor=white)

Or let the repo describe itself

Static badges go stale the moment you swap a dependency. A Stack Fingerprint card is generated from the repo, so Terraform (and everything around it) appears or disappears on its own:

Replace OWNER/REPO with your repository, or open the builder to pick a theme and layout.
