I’m having trouble logging in using Google SDK Compute SSH on a Mac Terminal.
Here’s the fix.
gcloud compute ssh USERNAME@SERVER --zone ZONE --project PROJECTID --internal-ip 2>&1 |
There was an issue with a redirect to another shell.
AWS SDK Load Config
Occasionally I was getting this random error when running Terraform.
╷ │ Error: error configuring Terraform AWS Provider: no valid credential sources for Terraform AWS Provider found. │ │ Please see https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws │ for more information about providing credentials. │ │ Error: RequestError: send request failed │ caused by: Post "https://sts.amazonaws.com/": read tcp xx.xx.xx.xx:59422->xx.xx.xx.xx:443: read: connection reset by peer │ │ │ with provider["registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws"], │ on main.tf line 10, in provider "aws": │ 10: provider "aws" { |
Here’s the fix. Place this in your ~/.bash_profile.
export AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=1 |
This forces Terraform to use both config and credentials file.
Saml2aws
Use Saml2Aws CLI as an alternative to SAML to AWS STS Key Conversion.
Install on Mac.
brew install saml2aws saml2aws --version |
Configure. Provide information.
saml2aws configure |
It will create a ~/.saml2aws config file. Set session to 8 hours.
aws_session_duration = 28800 |
Login.
saml2aws login |
After authentication and/or MFA, your ~/.aws/credentials will be updated.
Git Reset Hard
Reset uncommitted changes to both files and directories.
git reset --hard |
Remove untracked files and directories.
git clean -fd |

Linux prompt display current directory only
Here’s the command to display only the current directory.
export PROMPT_DIRTRIM=1 |
Place the command in your ~/.bashrc to make it permanent.
Set Terminal Browser to Firefox
Every time I log in to Google Cloud, it’s using the Chromium.
Set BROWSER env to Firefox instead.
export BROWSER=/usr/bin/firefox |
Login to GCP. It should open up Firefox browser instead of Chromium.
gcloud auth login |
Add it your .bashrc or .bashprofile if you want it to be permanent.
