+
+Managing multiple profiles with the AWS CLI itself is *relatively* straight forward, switching between them with `--profile` flag on the command line or the `AWS_PROFILE` environment variable.
+
+These helpers extend that functionality for convenience with other tools in the ecosystem.
+
+## `aws-profile`
+
+Configure the current shell with AWS configuration for a given `aws-cli` profile.
+
+`aws-profile <profile_name>`

+Sets the following Environment Variables
+
+  * `AWS_PROFILE=<profile_name>` used by `aws-cli`
+  * `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<profiles_access_key_id>`
+  * `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<profiles_secret_access_key>`
+
+## `with-aws-profile`
+
+Run a single command in a subshell configured for a specific `aws-cli` profile.
+
+`with-aws-profile <profile_name> my --arbitrary command`
+
+Any command line tool which can understand the environment varibles set by `aws-profile` should just work.
