aws configure set <varname> <value>

Set a configuration value from the config file. The ``aws configure set`` command can be used to set a single configuration value in the AWS config file. The ``set`` command supports both the *qualified* and *unqualified* config values documented in the ``get`` command (see ``aws configure get help`` for more information). To set a single value, provide the configuration name followed by the configuration value. If the config file does not exist, one will automatically be created. If the configuration value already exists in the config file, it will updated with the new configuration value. Setting a value for the ``aws_access_key_id``, ``aws_secret_access_key``, or the ``aws_session_token`` will result in the value being written to the shared credentials file (``~/.aws/credentials``). All other values will be written to the config file (default location is ``~/.aws/config``).
