Configuring Target (Aliases)

The relative path from the Git repository root to a root module is used in PR comments, PR labels, and other places. In large or long-lived monorepos, these paths can become verbose and complex. Additionally, GitHub PR labels have a 50-character limit, and exceeding this limit can cause label creation to fail.

To address this, tfaction provides a feature to shorten the relative path to a root module by applying replacement patterns.

replace_target:
  patterns:
    # Replacements are applied in order from top to bottom using regular expressions
    - regexp: /services/
      replace: /
    - regexp: /production/ # Shorten "production" to "prod"
      replace: /prod/
