README.md

Add the contents of aws-profile.sh to your bash profile.

Use like the following:

Create a user in AWS IAM with CLI capabilities Get the users' access key and secret key

Add the profile to your CLI

aws-add-profile {the account name} {your access key} {your secret key}

# E.g.
aws-add-profile myaccount 123AKSDJLHSLKD KJHK-12321-12OIE-OI12E

Activate the profile:

aws-profile

> 1) default
> 2) myaccount
> 3) Quit
> Select a profile: 2|

> you chose myaccount

Your profile is now active, and will be used for aws-sdk cli commands.

aws-profile.sh

```sh
export AWS_PROFILE=default

function aws-profile() {
  PS3='Select a profile: '
  unset AWS_PROFILES
  while IFS= read -r LINE; do
    AWS_PROFILES+=("${LINE}")
  done < <(aws configure list-profiles)

  select CHOSEN_PROFILE in "${AWS_PROFILES[@]}" "Quit"; do
    case ${CHOSEN_PROFILE} in
      "Quit")
        break
        ;;
      *)
        echo "you chose ${CHOSEN_PROFILE}"
        export AWS_PROFILE=$CHOSEN_PROFILE
        break
        ;;
    esac
  done
}

function aws-add-profile() {
  ACCOUNTNAME=$1
  ACCESSKEY=$2
  SECRETKEY=$3

  echo "[$ACCOUNTNAME]" >> ~/.aws/credentials
  echo "aws_access_key_id=$ACCESSKEY" >> ~/.aws/credentials
