Maintainers
-----------

This provider plugin is maintained by:

* The [Google Cloud Graphite Team](https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2017/03/partnering-on-open-source-Google-and-HashiCorp-engineers-on-managing-GCP-infrastructure.html) at Google
* The Terraform team at [HashiCorp](https://www.hashicorp.com/)

Requirements
------------

-	[Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html) 0.10.x
-	[Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) 1.9 (to build the provider plugin)

Building The Provider
---------------------

Clone repository to: `$GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-google`

```sh
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers
$ git clone git@github.com:terraform-providers/terraform-provider-google
```

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

```sh
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-google
$ make build
```

Using the provider
----------------------

See the [Google Provider documentation](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/google/index.html) to get started using the Google provider.

Upgrading the provider
----------------------

To upgrade to the latest stable version of the Google provider run `terraform init -upgrade`. See the [Terraform website](https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/providers.html#provider-versions) for more information.

Developing the Provider
---------------------------

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need [Go](http://www.golang.org) installed on your machine (version 1.9+ is *required*). You'll also need to correctly setup a [GOPATH](http://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH), as well as adding `$GOPATH/bin` to your `$PATH`.

To compile the provider, run `make build`. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the `$GOPATH/bin` directory.

```sh
$ make build
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-google
...
```

In order to test the Google provider, see the [Tests section of the contribution guidelines](https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-google/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#tests).
