S3edit

s3edit allows you to edit files from AWS S3 directly from your terminal.

Installation

pip install s3edit

Usage

Assuming your file is at s3://my-bucket/path/to/file.json:

s3edit my-bucket/path/to/file.json

Editor

s3edit uses your EDITOR environmental variable to choose an editor. If not set, vi is used by default.

Your AWS profile, credentials, and region needs to be set up for s3edit to work. This can be done through enviromental variables or configuration files. For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-welcome.html.
