Question 1

What is a .terraform.lock.hcl file?

Accepted Answer

A `.terraform.lock.hcl` file is generated by Terraform to record the selected provider versions for a configuration. This ensures that `terraform init` will always select the same provider versions, leading to more consistent and predictable behavior.

Question 2

How do I use this viewer?

Accepted Answer

Click the "Open Local File" button to select a `.terraform.lock.hcl` file from your device. Its content (HCL syntax) will be displayed as plain text.

Question 3

Does this tool validate or apply Terraform configurations?

Accepted Answer

No, this viewer only displays the text content of the lock file. It does not interact with Terraform or manage dependencies.
