SAWS

SAWS is a command‑line wrapper that builds on the existing AWS CLI, preserving its full command set and syntax while adding interactive conveniences. It supplies context‑aware auto‑completion for top‑level commands, subcommands, and options, as well as for AWS resources such as S3 bucket names, EC2 instance identifiers, and instance tags. The tool also offers fuzzy matching, fish‑style suggestions, syntax highlighting, and a configurable shortcut system to streamline repetitive tasks.

Designed for developers and system administrators who work frequently with AWS services, SAWS aims to reduce the cognitive load of recalling the extensive AWS CLI catalog—over 70 commands and thousands of subcommands—by surfacing relevant completions and help directly in the terminal. It runs on macOS, Linux, Unix, and Windows environments and can be installed via pip or containerized setups.

Additional features include command history, execution of shell commands from within the interface, contextual help that links to web documentation, and a customizable toolbar. The project is maintained as a stable, open‑source package under the Apache 2.0 license.
