Optional Hooks

Support for disabling Terragrunt hooks during run.

optional-hooks - What it does

When enabled, users can pass --no-hooks to terragrunt run to skip configured before_hook, after_hook, and error_hook blocks.

terragrunt run --experiment optional-hooks --no-hooks -- plan

This is useful when a run needs to bypass hook automation temporarily, such as when debugging faulty hooks or OpenTofu/Terraform modules.

optional-hooks - How to provide feedback

Track and discuss this experiment in gruntwork-io/terragrunt#6078.

optional-hooks - Criteria for stabilization

To transition the optional-hooks feature to a stable release, the following must be addressed:

• Validate behavior with single-unit and queue-based runs.
• Gather community feedback on whether all hook types should be skipped.
• Confirm the flag name leaves room for more granular hook controls in the future.
