Demo Scripts

The demo directory contains several scripts to demonstrate the features of AWS CLI Manager:

Screenshot Demos

To take screenshots for documentation or presentations, you can use these scripts:

# Set up demo scripts
cd demo
chmod +x *.sh

# Generate dummy AWS profiles (safe for screenshots)
./generate_dummy_profiles.sh

# Run the dummy profile screenshot script
./make_demo.sh

The dummy profiles include:

• demo-dev (us-east-1) - Basic profile
• demo-staging (eu-west-1) - Initially selected profile
• demo-prod (us-west-2) - SSO-enabled profile
• demo-admin (us-east-2) - SSO-enabled profile

These profiles use fake credentials and are safe to include in screenshots.

Autocompletion

To enable autocompletion for the tool, you can run the following command:

echo 'source <(aws-cli-manager completion SHELL)' >> ~/.SHEELrc

Please replace SHELL with the shell you are using (bash, zsh, fish).

If you don't to add the command to your shell configuration file, you can run the following command:

aws-cli-manager  completion SHELL -h

This will output a command that you can run to enable autocompletion without modifying your shell configuration file.
