Manage multiple AWS SSO accounts

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 14:01:36 +0100

🤔 What?

You are working with multiple client. Each client manages multiple accounts using his own AWS Identity Center.

🚀 How?

This can be done with a combination of aws-sso-util and mise.

First we generate aws profiles for all the accounts/roles for both clients.

 aws-sso-util configure populate --sso-region <sso-region> -r <default-region> -u https://client1.awsapps.com/start --components "client1",account_name,role_name
 aws-sso-util configure populate --sso-region <sso-region> -r <default-region> -u https://client2.awsapps.com/start --components "client2",account_name,role_name

The profile names will be formatted client1.<account_name>.<role_name> for client 1 and client2.<account_name>.<role_name> for client 2.

Use different Tools and Versions for different projects

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 13:55:41 +0100

🤔 What?

You are working on multiple projects and you need multiple versions and tools of each project.

🚀 How?

There are multiple ways to do this. Some are stack specific and others are stack agnostic (e.g pipx, npx, asdf, cargo…).

My favorite tool is Mise (AKA mise-en-place). The best 2 things about mise besides speed are:

Mise is one stop shop for building dev envs. It includes tool version management, environment setup and task execution.
Mise supports multiple backend to download and install dev tools including stack specific ones (pipx, Go, Cargo …) and stack agnostic ones (aqua, asdf, ub2

Let’s say you have 2 projects using different versions of terraform. And each projects uses a different set of tools.

Move Fast in Filesystem

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 13:52:13 +0100

🤔 What?

You are working on many projects and you have hundreds of folders to cd to. You can’t remember all the names and paths, and you are tired of long cd commands.

🚀 How?

zoxide (successor of z) is a smarter cd which let you jump fast in your filesystem without remembering entire paths. zoxide uses shell hooks to record and scores all the directories you navigate to into a local directory DB.

Work With Multiple Git Accounts

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 13:24:56 +0100

🤔 What?

You are working with multiple teams. You are using a different GitLab/GitHub account for each team. For example:

Since the SSH key is unique and cannot be used across accounts. How to manage multiple accounts without hassle?

🚀 How?

This is done using Git includeIf. Let’s say in addition to my personal GitLab account, I have a separate account for my Mrrakc organization with mrrakc@gmail.com.

Follow Up With Versions and Releases

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 13:05:22 +0100

🤔 What?

You are using multiple open-source tools in your projects and need to stay up to date with their releases to track new features, bug fixes, and breaking changes.

🚀 How?

Use an RSS feed reader.

First, for each github project you want to track create an entry in a releases file in the following format

https://github.com/<repository_namespace>/releases.atom
# e.g.
https://github.com/helm/charts/releases.atom

Then open the file using an RSS reader like newsboat or newsraft.

Clone GitLab hierarchy of projects

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 23:57:51 +0100

🤔 What?

You join a team with a multiple GitLab repositories spread across multiple groups and subgroups. How to clone all of them?

🚀 How?

To do this you need to have GitLab cli (aka glab), then

glab repo clone -group <your-group> --include-subgroups --archived=false --paginate --preserve-namespace
glab repo clone -g <you-group> -a=false --paginate -p # Short

--include-subgroups: Clone projects in subgroups as well (true by default).
--paginate: Fetch all projects pages before starting the Clone.
--preserve-namespace: Clone the projects into directories following the same group/project hierarchy in GitLab.
