+# aws
+
+This plugin provides completion support for [awscli](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/index.html)
+and a few utilities to manage AWS profiles and display them in the prompt.
+
+To use it, add `aws` to the plugins array in your zshrc file.
+
+```zsh
+plugins=(... aws)
+```
+
+## Plugin commands
+
+* `asp [<profile>]`: sets `$AWS_PROFILE` and `$AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE` (legacy) to `<profile>`.
+  It also sets `$AWS_EB_PROFILE` to `<profile>` for the Elastic Beanstalk CLI.
+  Run `asp` without arguments to clear the profile.
+
+* `agp`: gets the current value of `$AWS_PROFILE`.
+
+* `aws_change_access_key`: changes the AWS access key of a profile.
+
+* `aws_profiles`: lists the available profiles in the  `$AWS_CONFIG_FILE` (default: `~/.aws/config`).
+  Used to provide completion for the `asp` function.
+
+## Plugin options
+
+* Set `SHOW_AWS_PROMPT=false` in your zshrc file if you want to prevent the plugin from modifying your RPROMPT.
+  Some themes might overwrite the value of RPROMPT instead of appending to it, so they'll need to be fixed to
+  see the AWS profile prompt.
+
+## Theme
+
+The plugin creates an `aws_prompt_info` function that you can use in your theme, which displays
+the current `$AWS_PROFILE`. It uses two variables to control how that is shown:
+
+- ZSH_THEME_AWS_PREFIX: sets the prefix of the AWS_PROFILE. Defaults to `<aws:`.
+
+- ZSH_THEME_AWS_SUFFIX: sets the suffix of the AWS_PROFILE. Defaults to `>`.
