Reading eventbridge rules from the command line can be a total drag, pipe it into visidata to make it a breeze.

I just love when I start thinking through how to parse a bunch of json at the command line, maybe building out my own custom cli, then the solution is as simple as piping it into visidata. Which is a fantastic tui application that had a ton of vim-like keybindings and data features.


alias awsevents = aws events list-rules | visidata -f json
