awsenv

AWS cli profile switcher.

awsenv lists the content of the aws credentials and config files in a better readable format and makes it easier to switch the default profile.

Install:

Windows

Using Choco

$ choco install awsenv

MacOS

Using Homebrew (details to follow)

Usage:

List all available profiles:

$ awsenv

or

$ awsenv list

Output:

  PROFILE     AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID       REGION       OUTPUT    
  personal    ****************LDIA    us-east-1    text          
* office      ****************NQPA    [us-east-1]  [json]      

Profiles with * are active profiles.

Profiles with region or output in [] are using the default config.

Activate a given profile:

$ awsenv activate <profile>

Example:

$ awsenv activate personal

$ awsenv 
  PROFILE     AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID       REGION       OUTPUT

  office      ****************NQPA    us-east-1    text      

The activate command changes the [default] section in the credentials file.

The activate command DOES NOT modify the config file.
