$ curl -sSLfo awsenv https://github.com/Luzifer/awsenv/releases/download/v0.11.1/awsenv_linux_amd64
$ chmod 0755 awsenv

Adding an environment and using it

# We can not list because the credentials are locked
$ awsenv list
ERRO[0000] No password is available. Use 'unlock' or provide --password.

# Unlock the credentials (now the password is set for later)
$ awsenv unlock
Password: demo

# We can now list without errors but have no environments
$ awsenv list

# Lets add an environment
$ awsenv add --region eu-west-1 demoenv
AWS Access-Key: myaccesskey
AWS Secret-Access-Key: mysecretkey
INFO[0010] Credential 'demoenv' has been created

# Now we can list the environment we just created
$ awsenv list
demoenv

# With the get command we can display the information
$ awsenv get demoenv
Credentials for the 'demoenv' environment:
 AWS Access-Key:        myaccesskey
 AWS Secret-Access-Key: mysecretkey
 AWS EC2-Region:        eu-west-1

# The lock command will secure the credentials again
$ awsenv lock
$ awsenv get demoenv
ERRO[0000] No password is available. Use 'unlock' or provide --password.

# We need to unlock it with the same credentials
$ awsenv unlock
Password: demo
$ awsenv get demoenv
Credentials for the 'demoenv' environment:
 AWS Access-Key:        myaccesskey
 AWS Secret-Access-Key: mysecretkey
 AWS EC2-Region:        eu-west-1

# We're currently working in a bash without AWS ENV vars
$ env | grep AWS

# But we can load them using the set_aws function
$ set_aws demoenv
$ env | grep AWS
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=mysecretkey
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=myaccesskey
AWS_ACCESS_KEY=myaccesskey
AWS_SECRET_KEY=mysecretkey

# Now the prompt command can tell you which env is set
$ awsenv prompt
demoenv

# You also can run commands with AWS crentials directly
$ awsenv run demoenv -- env | grep AWS
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=myaccesskey
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=mysecretkey
AWS_ACCESS_KEY=myaccesskey
AWS_SECRET_KEY=mysecretkey
AWS_REGION=us-east-1
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1

# Lets try to unlock with a wrong password
$ awsenv lock
$ awsenv unlock
Password: fooo

# The database is now not readable for us
$ awsenv l
ERRO[0000] Unable to read credential database

# As soon as we unlock with the right password it works again
$ awsenv unlock
Password: demo
$ awsenv l
demoenv
