[flags]\n  aws-helper [command]\n\nExamples:\naws-helper ec2:list -c Name -C KeyName -f AZ:eu-central-1\n\nAvailable Commands:\n  ec2:list    List all EC2 instances\n  help        Help about any command\n\nFlags:\n  -a, --access_key string   set aws access_key\n  -h, --help                help for aws-helper\n  -p, --profile string      set aws profile\n  -r, --region string       set region (default \"eu-central-1\")\n  -s, --secret_key string   set aws secret_key\n\nUse \"aws-helper [command] --help\" for more information about a command.\n```\n\n### Region\n\nThe default region is `eu-central-1`. You can define the region with an environment variable `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION` or with the flag `--region`\n\nExample with env var:\n``` shell\n$ export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1\n$ aws-helper ec2:list\n```\n\nExample with flag:\n``` shell\n$ aws-helper ec2:list --region us-east-1\n$ aws-helper ec2:list\n```\n\n### Credentials\n\n#### Environment variables\n\nTODO\n\n#### Flags\n\nTODO\n\n### Ec2:list\n\n``` shell \nUsage:\n  aws-helper ec2:list [flags]\n\nFlags:\n  -c, --column stringSlice          add additional column (tag)\n  -f, --filter stringSlice          filter with column (Example: InstanceType:t2.micro)\n  -h, --help                        help for ec2:list\n  -C, --remove-column stringSlice   remove default column\n  -t, --tag stringSlice             filter with tag (Example: Name:Jenkins)\n\nGlobal Flags:\n  -a, --access_key string   set aws access_key\n  -p, --profile string      set aws profile\n  -r, --region string       set region (default \"eu-central-1\")\n  -s, --secret_key string   set aws secret_key\n```\n\n#### Default columns\n\n* InstanceId\n* ImageId\n* State\n* SubnetId\n* AZ\n* InstanceType\n* KeyName\n* PrivateIpAddress\n* PublicIpAddress\n\nWith the uppercase C flag `-C` or `--remove-column` you have the possibility to remove a default column.\n\nExample \n``` shell \n$ aws-helper ec2:list -C SubnetId -C AZ\n```\n\nAs you can see you could also remove multiple columns.\n\n#### Add tags as column\n\nImagine your instances have a \"Name\" tag, with the lowercase `-c` or `--column` yu have the possibility to add tags as a column.\n\nExample \n``` shell \n$ aws-helper ec2:list -c Name\n```\n\nYes, you could also add multiple columns. \n\n#### Filter\n\nThere a two different ways to filter your results. You could use a tag filter or a column filter.\n\n##### Tag filter\n\nExample \n``` shell \n$ aws-helper ec2:list -t Name:Jenkins\n```\n\n##### Column filter\n\nExample \n``` shell \n$ aws-helper ec2:list -f InstanceType:t2.micro\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkj187%2Faws-helper","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fkj187%2Faws-helper","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkj187%2Faws-helper/lists"}
