Feature Request: Add Consolidated Export Mode for a Single .tf File

[Thomas1430352]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Right now I think the export functionality of the provider creates separate .tf files for each configuration item. This can make version control, configuration review, and overall management cumbersome when dealing with large or complex environments.

Describe the solution you'd like
Introduce a new command-line flag (--consolidated) that enables users to export all configuration items into a single, consolidated .tf file. This unified file would serve as a single source of truth, making it easier to manage and track changes.

Describe alternatives you've considered
One alternative is manually merging the individual .tf files after export, but that process is error-prone and not scalable. Another option might be develop an external script to automate the merging and integration capability directly into the provider would be more robust and user-friendly

I would Like to tackle this if possible :)

Hi @Thomas1430352

Does "I would Like to tackle this if possible :)" mean you would like to contribute code changes for that additional command line flag? Or did I misinterpret that?

regards,
Reinhard
