A painless way to select an AWS profile

aws-profile-select's Issues

Feature request: Ability to select profiles from credentials file

In addition to the ~/.aws/config file, profiles are sometimes stored in the ~/.aws/credentials file, in a slightly different format.

This is most notably an issue for use with Serverless framework, which does not play well with the above-mentioned config file.

It would be good to also parse credentials, and handle any duplicate "default" profiles accordingly.

Needs an install script

Since this tool was created to make things easier, installation should be equally easy. While the installation is only a few commands, those two commands could be one.

Some requirements:

• The installer should work on both MacOS and Ubuntu Linux
• The installer should work in a bash environment, but zsh compatibility will be needed before zsh support (#3) is complete
• The install script should detect if an alias for aps already exists in ~/.bash_profile, and only add the alias if it does not exist.
• It should create a ${HOME}/bin or some other subdirectory in the users and place the script there.
• It should detect or at least handle an upgrade scenario gracefully
  • To clarify, either detect and auto-upgrade or fail unless an upgrade argument is passed

Only works on systems with BSD sed like MacOS

Using APS on a system that uses GNU sed as its default, APS incorrectly parses the profile names, failing to strip out profile from the beginning of the name.

Example:
MacOS:

aws-superstar@hackstation-[~]: aps

------------- AWS Profile Select-O-Matic -------------
No profile set yet

Type the number of the profile you want to use from the list below, and press enter

-: Unset Profile
0: default
1: personal
2: company-main

Linux system with GNU sed:

aws-superstar@hackstation-[~]: aps

------------- AWS Profile Select-O-Matic -------------
No profile set yet

Type the number of the profile you want to use from the list below, and press enter

-: Unset Profile
0: default
1: profile personal
2: profile company-main

Feature Request - Support for zsh for MacOS Catalina

See here: https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/4/18651872/apple-macos-catalina-zsh-bash-shell-replacement-features

Apple has changed the default shell for Catalina from bash to zsh. Based on that it would be useful if this tool could support zsh out of the box to help prevent errors for people using it with Catalina.

Thanks!
