Manage Workspaces permission is required to perform this action, please check Team Management for more info.
When creating a Workspace, Terrakube supports 3 workflows types and based on the selected workflow you will need to provide some parameters. Please refer to each workflow section for more reference.
Version Control workflow: Store your Terraform configuration in a git repository, and trigger runs based on pull requests and merges.
CLI-driven workflow: Trigger remote Terraform runs from your local command line.
API-driven workflow: A more advanced option. Integrate Terraform into a larger pipeline using the Terrakube API.
Click Workspaces in the main menu and then click the New workspace button
Select the IaC type for now we support terraform and open tofu
Choose the Version control workflow
Select an existing version control provider or click Connect to a different VCS to configure a new one. See VCS Providers for more details.

If you want to connect to a private git repo using SSH Keys you will need to provide the url in ssh format. Example git@github.com:jcanizalez/terraform-sample-repository.git. For more information see SSH

VCS branch | The branch from which to import new versions. |
Terraform Working Directory | Default workspace directory. Use / for the root folder |
Terraform Version | The version of Terraform to use for this workspace. Check Custom Terraform CLI Builds if you want to restrict the versions in your Terrakube instance. |

Once you create your workspace, Terrakube sets up a webhook with your VCS. This webhook runs a job based on the “Plan and apply” template every time you push new changes to the workspace branch. However, this feature does not work yet with Azure DevOps VCS provider.
