yak account¶

Switch the active AWS account.

Usage¶

1

yak account <name> [flags]

Description¶

Switches the active account, regenerates ~/.aws/config with the new active account context, and exports credentials for the new account. Accepts full account names or any configured alias.

Updates state.json in your configured state directory (paths.state_dir, default ~/.local/share/yak).

Flags¶

yak account dev
yak account prod
yak account p         # alias for prod
yak account p --role read_only

Notes¶

yak account cannot set AWS_PROFILE in your parent shell on its own — this requires the shell wrapper.
