SAWS: A Supercharged AWS CLI
SAWS
Motivation
AWS CLI
Although the AWS CLI is a great resource to manage your AWS-powered services, it's tough to remember usage of:
- 50+ top-level commands
- 1400+ subcommands
- Countless command-specific options
- Resources such as instance tags and buckets
SAWS: A Supercharged AWS CLI
SAWS aims to supercharge the AWS CLI with features focusing on:
- Improving ease-of-use
- Increasing productivity
Under the hood, SAWS is powered by the AWS CLI and supports the same commands and command structure.
SAWS and AWS CLI Usage:
aws <command> <subcommand> [parameters] [options]
SAWS features:
- Auto-completion of:
- Commands
- Subcommands
- Options
- Auto-completion of resources:
- Bucket names
- Instance ids
- Instance tags
- More coming soon!
- Customizable shortcuts
- Fuzzy completion of resources and shortcuts
- Fish-style auto-suggestions
- Syntax and output highlighting
- Execution of shell commands
- Command history
- Contextual help
- Toolbar options
SAWS is available for Mac, Linux, Unix, and Windows.
Check out the main SAWS page for more info.
@donnemartin do you have any insights on when the merge will take place and maybe a beta/rc will be released?
I searched for the aws shell but couldn't find anything ...if you know/ can share that will be highly appreciated
@DanyC97 aws-shell is under active development, although I'm not sure we're ready to announce a release date yet. It might be sooner than you think :)
@donnemartin okay in this case i have to wait quietly ;)
aws-shell is now live!
awesome !!!!
Are SAWS and aws-shell both still under active development?
@benkehoe new feature development will be done on aws-shell. Here's the currently active branch that will eventually be merged to master:
https://github.com/awslabs/aws-shell/tree/wizard-feature
For saws I only plan to do minor maintenance work, possibly until all saws features have been ported to aws-shell.
So SAWS will be deprecated eventually?
@sysadmiral I think that would be the best approach. With the AWS collaboration on aws-shell we can focus on building a quality app together instead of working independently on very similar solutions.
