Expected Behavior

Should be able to import an already created github repo and then run terraform apply without it wanting to recreate the repo.

Actual Behavior

In our terraform, we set the argument auto_init = true. Recently, there was a commit which changed the behavior. Before I was able to import an already created github repo into terraform state and then run apply, but now, it wants to recreate it, due to the ForceNew, which has been added. So, I can't safely import a repo.

auto_init:          "" => "true" (forces new resource)

For now, I have pinned to v1.1.0 and then was able to proceed and had the expected behavior. It just wanted to modify the single argument.

auto_init: "" => "true"
