Inconsistent profile lookup in ~/.aws/config

[janborch]

Found two inconsistencies in loading the the AWS CLI configufration from ~/.aws/config file.

Problem 1:

The default location for the AWS CLI config file is ~/.aws/credentials but should be ~/.aws/config

> awsu –help

…
-c, --config-file string               sets the config file (default "/Users/borchj/.aws/credentials")

I fixed the problem by adding parameter -c ~/.aws/config but it's a bit cumbersome to add this to each invocation.

Problem 2:

According to the AWS doc https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-profiles.html, profiles in the config file should be prefixes by profile. For example:

[profile user1]
region=us-east-1

awsu returns an error message : no such profile "user1" configured

awsu find the profile if you remove the ‘profile’ prefix.

[user1]
region=us-east-1

Thanks for the bugreport @janborch - I'll look into it!

Currently awsu actually treats both locations as one and the same since for historical reasons they were just symlinked to one file (on my machine). I'll fix it in the release after this one (for Catalina).
