Bash-my-AWS: CLI commands for managing AWS resources

on YouTube ↗25m

" summary

Bash-my-AWS is a lightweight shell toolkit that thinly wraps AWSCLI to produce line-oriented output instead of JSON, adds pipe skimming (first-field STDIN composition) for piping resources between commands, and provides tab completion for remote identifiers. Commands list stacks, EC2 instances and ASGs, can set ASG desired capacity, SSH into instances, and create SSH keypairs locally without leaking private keys. Project is zero‑config, saw ~300 GitHub stars after Hacker News and generally works with AWS CLI v2.
