<Aside type="note">

This flag only does anything when used with the --all flag for stack runs. It does nothing in single-unit runs.

To generate plan files for a single unit run, use the standard OpenTofu/Terraform -out flag like so:

bash
terragrunt run -- plan -out=/tmp/tfplan
</Aside>

Specifies where Terragrunt writes native OpenTofu/Terraform plan files for each unit when running stack operations.

  • Plans are written as tfplan.tfplan per unit.
  • If the directory does not exist, Terragrunt creates it.
  • Relative paths are resolved against the root working directory, and Terragrunt mirrors the unit path under this directory (e.g. <out-dir>/<relative-unit-path>/tfplan.tfplan).

Examples:

bash
# Save plans for all units under /tmp/tfplan
terragrunt run --all plan --out-dir /tmp/tfplan

# Apply using the previously generated plans (per-unit paths are inferred)
terragrunt run --all apply --out-dir /tmp/tfplan

See the Stacks docs for more usage examples.
