This 19 folder should not be committed to version control. 20 21 If a module is already downloaded and the `-update` flag is _not_ set, 22 Terraform will do nothing. As a result, it is safe (and fast) to run this 23 command multiple times. 24 25 The command-line flags are all optional. The list of available flags are: 26 27 * `-update` - If specified, modules that are already downloaded will be 28 checked for updates and the updates will be downloaded if present.
