Setting up Atmos Pro in a repository used to mean manually creating GitHub Actions workflows, authentication profiles, and stack configuration. The new atmos pro install command scaffolds everything in seconds.

What It Does​

atmos pro install generates the complete set of files needed to connect your repository to Atmos Pro's CI/CD orchestration platform:

  • GitHub Actions workflows for terraform plan, apply, affected stacks detection, and instance listing
  • Authentication profiles with GitHub OIDC for separate plan (read-only) and apply (admin) roles
  • Stack mixin that configures Pro workflow triggers for PRs, merges, and drift detection

Usage​

# Interactive installation with confirmation prompts
atmos pro install

# Preview what would be created
atmos pro install --dry-run

# Skip confirmation prompts
atmos pro install --yes

# Overwrite existing files
atmos pro install --force

Why This Matters​

Teams adopting Atmos Pro no longer need to copy workflow templates, configure auth profiles by hand, or wire up stack mixins manually. One command produces a working CI/CD integration that follows best practices — then you customize the generated files for your environment.
