| # Command: get |
| |
| The `terraform get` command is used to download and update |
| [modules](/terraform/language/modules/develop) mentioned in the root module. |
| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| Usage: `terraform get [options]` |
| |
| The modules are downloaded into a `.terraform` subdirectory of the current |
| working directory. Don't commit this directory to your version control |
| repository. |
| |
| The `get` command supports the following option: |
| |
| * `-update` - If specified, modules that are already downloaded will be |
| checked for updates and the updates will be downloaded if present. |
| |
| * `-no-color` - Disable text coloring in the output. |
