The underlying Python library for Identity Center authentication is [`aws-sso-lib`](lib/README.md), which has useful functions like interactive login, creating a boto3 session for specific a account and role, and the programmatic versions of the `lookup` functions in `aws-sso-util`. See the documentation [here](lib/README.md).\n\n## Quickstart\n\n0. It\u0027s a good idea to [install the AWS CLI v2](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2.html) (which has Identity Center support).\n\n1. I recommend you install [`pipx`](https://pipxproject.github.io/pipx/), which installs the tool in an isolated virtualenv while linking the script you need.\n\nMac [and Linux](https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-on-Linux):\n```bash\nbrew install pipx\npipx ensurepath\n```\n\nOther:\n```bash\npython3 -m pip install --user pipx\npython3 -m pipx ensurepath\n```\n\n2. Install\n```bash\npipx install aws-sso-util\n```\n\n3. Learn\n```bash\naws-sso-util --help\n```\n\n4. Autocomplete\n\n`aws",
