With aws-shell you're able to quickly run commands against any AWS API from your local terminal with great auto-completion. I use it very regularly and it reduces the need to jump to the documentation. You can find it on Github but can also install it easily via your favorite package manager like homebrew.

- Switch & Leapp-cli - AWS session management 100% command line
I have used awsume a long time. Then I got a new Macbook and lost 1/2 hour installing different python versions. So I programmed switchaws in go to get a single executable. And, yes: I declare guilty of the "not invented here" syndrom :) .
- Script or software that automatically populate specific profile in ~/.aws/credentials
Bonus comment: After setting up your aws credentials, have a look at awsume, which makes rapid switches between accounts and roles a lot easier.. :)

- Learning AWS from a GCP Background
Learn how to WORK with AWS well, for instance set up Awsume (https://awsu.me/, install the Switch Roles extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/aws-extend-switch-roles/jpmkfafbacpgapdghgdpembnojdlgkdl). Try to make working with it as painless as possible. I went through a long phase of bitching and hating AWS but I've recently just given in.

Haven’t tried Leapp, not sure how I’d feel about needing to swap to a UI every time. I’m a huge fan of Awsume
- AWS identity and access management
💡 When working with different accounts and/or roles and enabled MFA, it's recommendable to get some tooling support. I love working with AWSume in this case. It's easy to set up and really intuitive to work with.
