AWS Profile Switcher for

README.md

AWS Profile Switcher

Creates aliases for aws cli profile management. Reads through your ~/.aws/config and presents a list of profiles.

• aws-switch - switch profiles (with tab completion!)
• aws-list - list all profiles in ~/.aws/config
• aws-profile - show the current profile (whatever's in AWS_PROFILE)
• aws-clear - clear out AWS_PROFILE env var

Make sure you're grabbing the file with the right extension for your shell!

ZSH

For vanilla ZSH, we'll store the function in its own file and source it from .zshrc

mkdir -p ~/.zsh/functions

Add to ~/.zshrc

source ~/.zsh/functions/aws-profile.zsh

Oh My ZSH

If using oh-my-zsh, I think you can just place the file in

~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/aws-profile.zsh

Bash

Place contents into ~/.bash_profile (or maybe ~/.bashrc, depending).

aws-profile.bash

        return
    fi
    export AWS_PROFILE="$1"
    echo "Switched to AWS profile: $AWS_PROFILE"
