aws-creds name conflicts and causes confusion #1

Another repository created by @zwily called aws-keychain-util has a utility already called aws-creds created several years before your utility. I haven't checked to see what features overlap vs which are unique to each yet.

I wonder if you might merge your functionality into that other tool (though one is ruby vs go), or otherwise rename your utility so it doesn't cause confusion?

Thanks, Aaron

I don't think there's a lot of overlap between our tools - aws-keychain-util is specifically for storing the credentials in the OS X keychain. aws-creds is just what I named the binary when I first wrote it. There is also an unrelated ruby gem called aws-creds (https://github.com/airbnb/gem-aws-creds), which is why I named the repository aws-keychain-util.
