git clone https://github.com/OlivierDupre/awsctx.git ~/.awsctx
# COMPDIR='/usr/share/bash-completion/completions'
COMPDIR=$(pkg-config --variable=completionsdir bash-completion)
ln -sf ~/.awsctx/completion/awsctx.bash $COMPDIR/awsctx
nb_definitions=`grep awsctx ~/.bashrc | wc -l`
if [ $nb_definitions -eq 0 ]; then
cat << FOE >> ~/.bashrc

# awsctx
source ~/.awsctx/.awsctx
FOE
fi

nb_definitions=`grep trim ~/.bashrc | wc -l`
if [ $nb_definitions -eq 0 ]; then
cat << FOE >> ~/.bashrc
function trim
{
echo "$1" | xargs
}
FOE
fi

• For zsh:

git clone https://github.com/OlivierDupre/awsctx.git ~/.awx

mkdir -p ~/.zsh/completion
ln -s ~/.awx/completion/awx.zsh ~/.zsh/completion/_awx.zsh

nb_definitions=`grep completion ~/.zshrc | wc -l`
if [ $nb_definitions -eq 0 ]; then
cat << FOE >> ~/.zshrc

fpath=(~/.zsh/completion $fpath)
FOE
fi

mv ~/.awx/.awsctx ~/.zsh/.awsctx

Then copy and paste the following line to your ~/.zshrc file.

[[ -d ~/.zsh ]] && for f (~/.zsh/*(.)) { [[ -f $f ]] && source $f } && for f (~/.zsh/.*(.)) { [[ -f $f ]] && source $f }
