     9  # Command: get
    10  
    11  The `terraform get` command is used to download and update
    12  [modules](/docs/modules/index.html) mentioned in the root module.
    13  
    14  ## Usage
    15  
    16  Usage: `terraform get [options] [dir]`
    17  
    18  The modules are downloaded into a local `.terraform` folder. This
    19  folder should not be committed to version control. The `.terraform`
    20  folder is created relative to your current working directory
    21  regardless of the `dir` argument given to this command.
    22  
    23  If a module is already downloaded and the `-update` flag is _not_ set,
    24  Terraform will do nothing. As a result, it is safe (and fast) to run this
    25  command multiple times.
    26  
    27  The command-line flags are all optional. The list of available flags are:
    28  
    29  * `-update` - If specified, modules that are already downloaded will be
    30     checked for updates and the updates will be downloaded if present.
    31  * `dir` - Sets the path of the [root module](/docs/modules/index.html#definitions).
