SAWS is a Python-based wrapper around the official AWS CLI that adds productivity features like auto-completion of commands, options, and AWS resources (S3 buckets, EC2 instances), fish-style auto-suggestions, syntax highlighting, and contextual help. It supports the same command structure as the AWS CLI while improving ease of use.

Use cases

• autocomplete aws cli commands in the terminal
• remember aws cli subcommands and options
• autocomplete s3 bucket names and ec2 instance ids
• get contextual help for aws cli commands
• highlight aws cli syntax and output
• manage aws resources from the command line faster

When to choose

• you use the AWS CLI frequently and struggle to remember its many commands and options
• you want fuzzy completion of AWS resources like buckets and instance tags
• you want a friendlier interactive shell experience for AWS management

When to avoid

• you only occasionally run a few known AWS CLI commands
• you need a GUI or console-based AWS management tool
• you need actively developed features - the project sees infrequent releases
