Its README explicitly says it is no longer maintained and recommends aws-vault instead. ### Projektgeschichte The upstream README identifies the project as a 2014-2015 Paul Annesley MIT-licensed tool. It was written for the Mac OS X Keychain era of local AWS access-key management, before newer credential-process, SSO, and vault-style workflows became the dominant recommendation. ### Adoptionsgeschichte GitHub lists v3.0.0 as the latest release dated September 22, 2015 and describes the repository as succeeded by aws-vault. Homebrew analytics showed only 8 installs in 30 days, 10 in 90 days, and 56 in 365 days at the time of this batch, consistent with a historical package kept around for existing users. ### Wie es verwendet wird The command supports `add`, `ls`, `exec`, and `rm` operations for named IAM access keys in Keychain. The README warns about shell history when adding keys, supports interactive secret entry, and shows `aws-keychain exec personal aws s3 ls` as the intended safe command-running workflow. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren aws-keychain is a compact example of the local-secret-storage lineage that led to better-known tools such as aws-vault. It matters less as a current recommendation and more as a package archaeology marker for how macOS AWS users avoided plaintext credentials before first-class AWS SSO workflows. ### Zeitleiste - 2014-2015: README copyright period for aws-keychain. - 2015: GitHub lists v3.0.0 as the latest release, with separate keychain file behavior. - 2026: Homebrew formula metadata still tracks the v3.0.0 source archive. ### Related projects - aws-vault: the successor recommended by the aws-keychain README. ### Quellen - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Credential files - macOS: ~/.aws/credentials ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** aws-keychain - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Requirements:** macos - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** yes - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Verwandte Links - [Cloud CLI packages](https://pkg.so/de/cloud-clis/) - Belongs to a cloud or infrastructure command family. - [Source-control packages](https://pkg.so/de/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/de/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/de/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [rolesanywhere-credential-helper](https://pkg.so/de/brew/rolesanywhere-credential-helper/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: aws, cli, credentials, iam, security. - [aws-vault](https://pkg.so/de/brew/aws-vault/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: aws, cli, credentials, security. - [granted](https://pkg.so/de/brew/granted/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: aws, cli, credentials, security. - [aws-rotate-key](https://pkg.so/de/brew/aws-rotate-key/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: aws, cli, credentials, iam, security. - [trailscraper](https://pkg.so/de/brew/trailscraper/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: aws, cli, iam, security. - [parliament](https://pkg.so/de/brew/parliament/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: aws, cli, iam, security. - [terraform-iam-policy-validator](https://pkg.so/de/brew/terraform-iam-policy-validator/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: aws, cli, iam, security. - [trufflehog](https://pkg.so/de/brew/trufflehog/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, credentials, security. - [aws-vault-binary](https://pkg.so/de/cask/aws-vault-binary/) - Security-sensitive metadata or terminology overlaps.
