Tmux aws-vault context

Show the current aws-vault context and how much time you have left in the current session.

This only works if you aws-vault exec before running tmux, so the tmux session inherits the environment variables. If you run aws-vault exec inside tmux it won't be able to pick it up.

Installation

Dependencies

This assumes that you have aws-vault installed and used the exec function.

Installation with Tmux Plugin Manager (recommended)

Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf

set -g @plugin 'mateimicu/tmux-aws-vault'

Hit prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it.

If format strings are added to status-right or status-left they should be visible, assuming you have the necessary dependencies.

Manual Installation

Clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/sudermanjr/tmux-kube ~/clone/path

Add this line to ~/.tmux.conf

run-shell ~/clone/path

Reload TMUX environment:

$ tmux source ~/.tmux.conf

If format strings are added to status-right or status-left they should be visible, assuming you have the necessary dependencies.

Usage

Add #{aws_vault}, or #{aws_remaining_time} to your status line to get current context info.

Basic Example:

set -g status-right '#{aws_vault}:#{aws_remaining_time}'
