## EXAMPLES

First you need to initialise your keychain to hold your AWS credentials.

## HISTORY

The motivation of this application is to provide a local secure store of AWS
credentials using specifically in the macOS Keychain, to have them easily accessed
from the Terminal, and to provide useful functions like assuming roles and opening
the AWS Console from the cli.
For Enterprise environments there are better suited tools to use
like [HashiCorp Vault](https://vaultproject.io/).
