Introducing **cfnctl**, a CLI that brings the Terraform cli experience to Cloudformation. You\u0027ll never need to use the AWS Console for managing stacks again!\n\nWith *cfnctl*, you write Cloudformation templates as usual but use the cli workflow that you are already used to from Terraform, including:\n\n* **apply**\n* **plan**\n* **destroy**\n* **output**\n\n\n### Demo\n\n[![Cfnctl](./cfnctl.svg)](https://asciinema.org/a/abFfMrlLp3MTDHjrrzWpbyDDI?autoplay=1)\n\n\n### Installation\n\nGrab a pre-built binary from the [GitHub Releases page](https://github.com/rogerwelin/cfnctl/releases) for your OS of choice\n\n\n### Usage\n\nIf you are a terraform user the *cfnctl* cli works as you would expect. Running the binary without flags will give you the help output:\n\n```bash\n\u2717 ./cfnctl\n NAME:\n    cfnctl - \u2728 Terraform cli exp",
