The tofu workspace select command is used to choose a different
workspace to use for further operations.
Usage: tofu workspace select NAME [DIR]
This command will select another workspace. The named workspace must already exist.
:::note
Use of variables in module sources,
backend configuration,
or encryption block
requires assigning values to root module variables
when running tofu workspace select.
:::
The supported flags are:
-or-create - If the workspace that is being selected does not exist, create it. Default is false.
-var 'NAME=VALUE' - Sets a value for a single
input variable declared in the
root module of the configuration. Use this option multiple times to set
more than one variable. Refer to
Input Variables on the Command Line for more information.
-var-file=FILENAME - Sets values for potentially many
input variables declared in the
root module of the configuration, using definitions from a
"tfvars" file.
Use this option multiple times to include values from more than one file.
There are several other ways to set values for input variables in the root
module, aside from the -var and -var-file options. Refer to
Assigning Values to Root Module Variables for more information.
