Infracost scans for Terraform code changes and checks over 3 million prices to create a simple, understandable cost estimate before any resources are launched.

:wave: Hello, team! We want to implement infracost for our PRs However it seems we are not allowed to give permissions to infracost to access our github due to security reasons . Is it possible for infracost to look into terraform plan  and let us know the cost of that PR ?

Hi <@U08AHMK1CKT>. You can use our CI/CD integrations (<https://www.infracost.io/docs/integrations/cicd/#cicd-integrations>) to run it in your own pipeline.

Thanks Alistair. We looked into Jenkins Integration and this one is asking to setup PAT token for github. We can not give permission to InfraCost to access our github repose. Can InfraCost look into terraform plan to calculate cost ?

The PAT is just used by the Infracost CLI which runs locally in your pipeline to post the comment to your GitHub repo, so it's never stored by Infracost. You can run it without that but it won't be able to post the comment to your GitHub pull request. The Infracost CLI can work with a `--path` pointing to either a Terraform repo or a Terraform Plan JSON file.
