terraform-github-repository VS terramate

Could you share some of the issues that you're experiencing with the provider? We've also ran into some issues with the providers but worked around most of the issues in our open-source modules (eg https://github.com/mineiros-io/terraform-github-repository) and by using Terramate (eg renaming repositories causes re-creation in the provider, with Terramate we're dynamically creating move statements to prevent this. Check out Terramate if you haven't done it yet: https://github.com/mineiros-io/terramate)

Terramate: It seems like a good alternative, and I think it could have been a better choice for certain issues we had. With Terramate the transition from Terraform might have been easier since Terraform projects can be imported seamlessly. Furthermore, we don't have to think right away about how to modularize everything. The reason it was not chosen, is that my team was mainly familiar with Terragrunt. We had no experience with Terramate, so we decided to play it safely.

‍Terramate is an open-source IaC orchestration tool for Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, Cloudformation, and others, that streamlines and scales your IaC workflows.

Nice, this looks close to https://terramate.io/ stacks

You might want to take a look at Terramate. Compared to other tooling such as Terragrunt we're not a wrapper that will lock you in yet another syntax. Terramate is a code generator and orchestrator that helps you to generate native Terraform that can be executed in whatever environment of your choice.

Another option for Terragrunt could be Terramate. It comes with Code Generation that helps you to automatically generate files such as Terraform, Provider and Backend configurations in various stacks (directories). The upside is that it always generates native Terraform code.

This can be done with a tool such as Terramate or Terragrunt (afaik Terragrunt doesn't come with change detection).

I'd love to add Terramate to the list of alternatives to Terraform Cloud!
