ASDF_HASHICORP_OVERWRITE_ARCH

I usually never have to think about which processing architecture my computer uses. This changed when I recently received an M1 macbook from my work. I use asdf to install and switch between terraform versions. I went to work on an older piece of terraform.

I go to run asdf install terraform 0.12.27 and get

Downloading terraform version 0.12.27 from https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.12.27/terraform_0.12.27_darwin_arm.zip
Error: terraform version 0.12.27 not found

Thanks to this post

I learned that asdf was misidentifying the processing architecture by setting it like so: ASDF_HASHICORP_OVERWRITE_ARCH=amd64

resolves the issue. Thanks radditude!
