Usage
toast --help # View available commands
toast am # Show AWS identity
toast cdw # Navigate workspace directories
toast ctx # Manage Kubernetes contexts
toast dot # Manage .env.local files
toast env # Manage AWS profiles
toast git # Manage Git repositories

Examples
# AWS
toast am # Show identity
toast env # Switch profiles
toast region # Switch regions
# Kubernetes
toast ctx # Switch contexts
# Select [New...] to add EKS clusters from current region
# Select [Del...] to delete contexts (individual or all)
# Environment Files (.env.local)
toast dot # Compare local and env-store, choose action (default: sync)
toast dot up # Upload .env.local to env-store (S3)
toast dot down # Download .env.local from env-store (alias: dn)
toast dot diff # Show local vs env-store diff without changing files
toast dot ls # List all .env.local files in env-store (S3 + SSM)
# up/down show a masked diff and confirm when local and env-store differ;
# down is a no-op when local matches the newest copy; up compares against S3.
# Secret values are masked, including multiline dotenv values (KEY=ab****yz).
# Prompt Files (.prompt.md)
toast prompt # Compare local and env-store, choose action (default: sync)
toast prompt up # Upload .prompt.md to env-store (S3)
toast prompt down # Download .prompt.md from env-store (alias: dn)
toast prompt diff # Show local vs env-store diff without changing files
toast prompt ls # List all .prompt.md files in env-store (S3 + SSM)
# SSM Parameter Store
toast ssm # Interactive mode: browse and select parameters
toast ssm ls # List all parameters
toast ssm ls /toast/ # List parameters under path
toast ssm get /my/param # Get parameter value, masked by default (alias: g)
toast ssm get /my/param --reveal # Get parameter value in plaintext
toast ssm put /my/param 'value' # Store as SecureString; shows masked diff if it exists (alias: p)
toast ssm diff /my/param 'value' # Show masked diff without writing
toast ssm rm /my/param # Delete parameter (alias: d, delete)
# Git Operations
toast git repo-name clone # Clone repository (alias: cl)
toast git repo-name clone -t target-dir # Clone into a custom directory
toast git repo-name branch -b branch-name # Create branch (alias: b)
toast git repo-name pull # Pull changes (alias: p)
toast git repo-name pull -r # Pull with rebase
toast git repo-name push # Push to remote (alias: ps)
toast git repo-name push --mirror # Mirror push for migration
toast git repo-name rm # Remove local repository
Clone accepts HTTPS, SSH (including custom ports), and SCP-style Git URLs.
The repository is cloned into the current directory using its name, or -t for a custom name:
cd ~/workspace/gitlab.clush.net/apps/cdp/be
toast git ssh://git@110.45.156.168:30022/apps/cdp/be/ws.git clone
# Alternatively, use HTTPS:
toast git https://gitlab.clush.net/apps/cdp/be/ws.git clone
With only a repository name, toast git ws clone in this directory uses
git@gitlab.clush.net:apps/cdp/be/ws.git. All groups below the host directory
form the namespace. Use an explicit URL when the SSH host or port differs.
The existing GITHUB_HOST configuration also overrides the host for name-based clones.
Workspace Structure
Toast-cli uses a standardized workspace directory structure for organizing projects:
~/workspace/{git-host}/{namespace}/{project}
Examples:
~/workspace/github.com/opspresso/toast-cli~/workspace/github.enterprise.com/myorg/myproject~/workspace/gitlab.clush.net/apps/cdp/be/ws
The host directory is the Git server domain. The namespace can contain nested groups.
First-time Setup:
When you run toast cdw for the first time, it will automatically:
- Create
~/workspacedirectory if it doesn't exist - Create
~/workspace/github.comas the default structure - Display instructions for creating organization and project directories
You can then create your project directories:
mkdir -p ~/workspace/github.com/{org}/{project}
Benefits:
- Consistent project organization across all Git hosts
- Automatic detection of the Git host from the workspace path
- Git operations across hosts; dot/prompt currently use GitHub project paths
Configuration
GitHub Host Configuration
Configure custom GitHub hosts for different organizations by creating .toast-config files:
File location: ~/workspace/github.com/{org}/.toast-config
# For organization-specific hosts
echo "GITHUB_HOST=github.enterprise.com" > ~/workspace/github.com/myorg/.toast-config
# For custom SSH hosts (useful for different accounts)
echo "GITHUB_HOST=myorg-github.com" > ~/workspace/github.com/myorg/.toast-config
Example SSH config (~/.ssh/config):
Host myorg-github.com
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_myorg
Benefits:
- Different GitHub Enterprise hosts per organization
- Different SSH keys and accounts per organization
- Automatic host detection based on workspace location
- Seamless switching between GitHub accounts
Env-store (S3) Storage Paths
The dot and prompt plugins store files in the S3 env-store bucket. During
the transition from AWS SSM Parameter Store, reads check both backends and use
whichever copy is newest; writes always go to S3 (the bucket is the source of
truth), and SSM copies become stale and are harvested into S3 on the next
upload.
s3://env-store-{account-id}/local/{org}/{project}/env-local # .env.local files
s3://env-store-{account-id}/local/{org}/{project}/prompt-md # .prompt.md files
/toast/local/{org}/{project}/env-local # legacy SSM (read-only fallback)
/toast/local/{org}/{project}/prompt-md # legacy SSM (read-only fallback)
Run dot and prompt under ~/workspace/github.com/{org}/{project}. A call
from a subdirectory still uses the project root's file. ls works anywhere.
GitLab workspace paths are supported by git and cdw, but are not mapped to
env-store keys.
Both S3 and SSM reads must succeed before comparison or transfer. On an access, network, or region error, fix the reported cause and run the command again. Downloads replace the local file atomically with mode 0600, preserving UTF-8 content and line endings. Empty files count as existing files.
S3 objects are written with SSE-KMS encryption. All env-store access uses a dedicated AWS profile so it is decoupled from your current default profile.
Configuration — precedence: environment variable > config file > default.
Environment variables:
TOAST_ENV_STORE_PROFILE # default: {username}-admin
TOAST_ENV_STORE_BUCKET # default: env-store-{account-id of the profile}
TOAST_ENV_STORE_KMS_KEY # default: bucket/account default KMS key
TOAST_ENV_STORE_REGION # profile region, then AWS_REGION / AWS_DEFAULT_REGION; required for SSM
The profile defaults to your OS username + -admin, and the bucket defaults to
env-store- + the AWS account id of that profile (looked up via
aws sts get-caller-identity). The region resolves to the configured value, then
the profile's region, then AWS_REGION / AWS_DEFAULT_REGION. If none is set,
SSM reads fail. Set TOAST_ENV_STORE_REGION to the region holding your legacy
parameters; toast never assumes a different region to report them as absent.
Config file ~/.config/toast/config (KEY=VALUE format). On first run, if it
is missing, toast prompts for the values and saves them (interactive sessions
only):
ENV_STORE_BUCKET=env-store-{account-id}
ENV_STORE_PROFILE={username}-admin
ENV_STORE_KMS_KEY=
ENV_STORE_REGION=
Creating Plugins
- Create a file in
toast/plugins/ - Extend
BasePlugin - Implement required methods
- Set name and help variables
from toast.plugins.base_plugin import BasePlugin
import click
class MyPlugin(BasePlugin):
name = "mycommand"
help = "Command description"
@classmethod
def get_arguments(cls, func):
func = click.option("--option", "-o", help="Option description")(func)
return func
@classmethod
def execute(cls, **kwargs):
option = kwargs.get("option")
click.echo(f"Executing with option: {option}")
Aliases
alias t='toast'
c() {
local dir
dir="$(toast cdw "$@")" || return
[ -n "$dir" ] && cd "$dir"
} # Navigate only after a selection
alias m='toast am' # AWS identity
alias x='toast ctx' # Kubernetes contexts
alias d='toast dot' # .env.local files
alias p='toast prompt' # .prompt.md files
alias e='toast env' # AWS profiles
alias g='toast git' # Git repositories
alias r='toast region' # AWS region
alias ssm='toast ssm' # SSM Parameter Store
Failure behavior
Invalid command arguments exit with status 2. Operational failures exit nonzero
and print to stderr. A cancelled selection performs no action. cdw writes only
the selected path to stdout, so shell functions can safely capture it.
env manages static profiles in AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE (default
~/.aws/credentials). It requires both access key fields before replacing the
default credentials, removes a stale session token, and verifies the explicit
default profile. SSO/role configuration in ~/.aws/config is not copied.
ssm put requires permission to read the current parameter. A failed read stops
the write. To keep input out of shell history, use toast ssm and choose the
interactive create/update action; the value prompt hides input. --reveal
prints values literally, including markup-like text.
Git branch/pull/push/rm require an existing repository directory name. Invalid names and symlinks are rejected without rewriting the target. Mirror push uses the full workspace namespace and leaves existing remotes unchanged.
