## Project history and usage

terraform-module-versions is a small Go CLI for checking Terraform module references against newer module versions.

### Project history

The repository was created in August 2019 and describes the tool as a dependency-free CLI for checking Terraform code for module updates. Its README says it scans external Terraform modules and can report Markdown tables, JSONL, JSON, or JUnit XML.

The project supports Git module sources with SemVer tags, GitHub-style sources, SSH forms, and public or private Terraform Registry module sources. That scope reflects a practical maintenance problem in Terraform codebases: module versions often live inside source strings and version constraints rather than a single lockfile.

### Adoption history

Adoption appears specialized. Homebrew packages v3.3.13 and reports small recent install counts, suggesting the tool is used mainly by teams or automation pipelines that audit Terraform modules rather than by general Terraform users.

### How it is used

The README documents `terraform-module-versions list` for listing current module versions and constraints, and `terraform-module-versions check` for comparing them with newer matching or latest versions. Output formats make it usable in pull requests, CI logs, and machine-readable update checks.

### Why package nerds care

For package nerds, terraform-module-versions is a Terraform-specific dependency-audit tool: it treats module sources like package coordinates and gives maintainers a compact way to spot stale Git or Registry module pins.

### Timeline

- 2019: GitHub repository created.
- 2019: Early 0.x and 1.x tags published.
- 2025: v3.3.13 packaged by Homebrew.

### Related projects

- Terraform Registry modules and Git-hosted Terraform modules are the package coordinates inspected by the tool.
- Renovate and similar dependency updaters cover adjacent dependency-maintenance workflows, but this tool is focused on direct Terraform module inspection.
