history
Project history and usage
tf-summarize is a Go command-line utility that prints compact summaries of Terraform plans. It turns plan files or JSON plan output into tables, trees, Markdown, HTML, or JSON summaries for humans reviewing infrastructure changes.
Project history
The repository began in January 2022 with an initial table-format implementation and was quickly renamed from a state-focused name to a plan-focused tool. Early commits added tree output, color, file/stdin reading, and command-line flags.
The README frames the tool around the common problem that large Terraform plans obscure the few resource changes reviewers care about. It added installation paths for Go, Homebrew, asdf, Docker, GitHub Actions, release downloads, and source builds.
Adoption history
The tag history starts with v0.0.1 in March 2022 and continues through a long v0.3 series into 2026. The input package facts also show availability through Homebrew, Nix, and Scoop, which is broad for a small Terraform companion utility.
How it is used
Typical usage is `terraform plan -out=tfplan` followed by `tf-summarize tfplan`, or `terraform show -json tfplan | tf-summarize`. CI examples include GitHub Actions, Codefresh, and workflows that post Terraform plan summaries to pull requests.
Why package nerds care
tf-summarize matters in package-manager niches because it is the sort of small, scriptable CLI that teams add to Terraform review pipelines. Its value is not managing infrastructure directly, but making package-installed automation easier to read in terminals and CI comments.
