XDG Base Dir compatability #191

Closed z0rc closed 6 years ago

I understand that it's convenient and kinda awscli legacy approach to store everything in ~/.aws on Linux.

Still nothing blocks this CLI utility to properly use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME path for configuration storage and $XDG_CACHE_HOME for cache.

To make it clear XDG base dir spec is already used by multitude of other CLI utilities, like git, systemd, mc, htop and many many others. Please keep our homes clean.

This would need to happen upstream in the CLI. There's a feature request there for it already: https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/2433. Closing in favor of that issue.
