Remote source for dependency block #1240

Open ahmedfourti opened 4 years ago

ahmedfourti commented 4 years ago

Hello guys,

This is a question, not an issue. Is it possible to use dependency block by using remote location instead of local path ? Example: instead using .../vpc, use something like git repos

Thanks alot,

Currently, only local file paths are supported with dependency blocks. Adding support for cloning a Git repo would be inline with how the source param works in Terragrunt, so a PR to add that is welcome. Note that this would make dependency blocks even slower: running terragrunt output already takes some time; putting a git clone before that will take even longer.
