Terrasave

I just released a tiny tool function I’ve been using for some time called terrasave. It’s a Bash / Fish function that prevents you from running terraform without the -target option. Why does this exist? In terraform it is incredibly easy to destroy things with terraform apply. If you run apply terraform shows a huge output and sometimes you may overlook a thing being “replaced” instead of updated. Once upon a time I destroyed a MongoDB Atlas Cluster this way and lost all its data, because the “must be replaced” was hidden in a lot of terraform output and I simply didn’t see it.
