I needed to write this because it is so annoying to each time refresh my CLI aws tokens manually. Also, I struggled hours to get the right steps by myself.

This small tutorial explains how to manually but also programmatically refresh your CLI aws tokens when needed, as long as you remember your profile name (we get this after configuring the sso profile aka: aws configure sso).

I hope this could be helpful. It is up to date and I will be maintaining it at least for my own sake so you can trust that. If there is an issue do not hesitate to create an issue or contribute!

When using AWS with GitHub Actions or other services, access tokens expire (typically after 1 hour), requiring manual refresh (At least that is what I was doing). Here is a simple solution I came with.

This command will basically create a new json file in your local machine with the new credentials, so REALLY IMPORTANT to type it!
