Add support for AWS SSO when authMechanism is MONGODB-AWS
Currently MONGODB-AWS authentication mechanism doesn't support AWS SSO. User has to manually run
aws sso get-role-credentialsto retrieve the temporary credentials first.All AWS SDK support SSO out of the box, therefore mongosh should add support for it too.

Change mongosh to process and use arguments only up to a "--" sentinel
Getting command line arguments into mongosh is virtually impossible. The --eval option insists on printing the last eval expr evaluated to the console despite the --quiet switch. Allowing a script to self parse and manage any args following the "–" sentinel using the "process.argv" array would permit the developer a wide array of choices in handling script input from a command line.

Support git command
MongoSh is a developer tool, obviously. So as a developer, git is always a part of it. Supporting git command inside mongosh will help us save a lot of time.
Here's some of my implementation:
const git = (command) => {
try {
return execSync(`git ${command}`).toString();
} catch (e) {};
return null;
};
const listBranches = () => {
const branches = git(`branch -a`).split(/\r\n|\n|\r/).filter(notEmpty);
return branches.map(branchObj);
};
const pull = (remote = 'origin') => {
return git(`pull ${remote} --rebase`);
};
const log = (cnt) => {
const _cnt = Number(cnt) || 32;
return git(`log --graph --all --oneline --decorate=short --max-count=${_cnt}`);

Suggest new feature for loading scripts: loadScript and loadFolder
For loading external script into MongoSh current session, currently we have the
load()function, which is enough for the task. But I found myself using my own functions instead. So I would like to describe those as suggestion to improve MongoSh:loadScript()
This function is basically has the same function with
load(). But has 1 major difference: all relative paths in the script has the same base directory with the script itself, not the current MongoSh working directory.
For example:
- Script"D:\MyProject\src\script.js"have these references:"test.js","../test2.js"
- Current working dirprocess.cwd():"C:\MongoSh"

Retain multi-line input in history.
Ideally, when using an inline text editor, the inline text editor would show the history command with its multi-lines retained.

Add a command to change date format when logrotate is used
After testing db.adminCommand( { logRotate : 1 } ), the following file was generated:
/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log.2021-07-05T15-09-17. It would be good to add command to change date format. E.g. yyyymmdd-hhmmss and also it could be specified as variable in mongod.conf1 vote -
Change naming conventions to more inclusive terms. For example "slaveDelay" to "workerDelay" or "rs.isMaster" to "rs.isMain"
There is an initiative in the tech community to replace non-inclusive terms with more inclusive ones and I'd like to get the community's take on it. I think the biggest offenders are terminology referring to "slaves" and "masters", but I'm sure there are others that might fall into that category. Although I'm sure nobody meant any harm by using these terms, I think we can and should do better.
I'm currently working my way through the m103 replication course and I see in replication configuring there's a term "slaveDelay". Also a "rs.isMaster()" method. I'm suggesting replacing "slave" with "worker" and…

Paginate shell output
When running a query or a command that returns a long output, the content scrolls off the screen and cannot be seen without using the terminal scrollbar.
It would be nice if the content would only scroll to screen boundaries and pause like

Add support for db.exists() and collections.exists()
Add a db.exists() and collections.exists() so that it is easy to check whether a database or a collection exists. This will help to reduce the propensity to inadvertently create new dbs and collections when running a script due to typos.

create custom role with list of collection
currently, when creating a role, we need to list one collection per db for custom role
db.getSisterDB('admin').createRole({role : 'readWriteCollectionXY',
privileges : [ {resource : {db : "databaseA", collection : "***"}, actions : ["find", "insert", "update"]},
{resource : {db : "databaseA", collection : "yyy"}, actions : ["find", "insert", "update"]} ],
roles : []
})having an option to list all the collections in one db with the same permission would be a nice thing to have.
db.getSisterDB('admin').createRole({role : 'readWriteCollectionXY',
privileges : [ {resource : {db : "database_A", collections : ["***", "yyy"] }, actions : ["find", "insert", "update"]} ],

Explain shell helpers for CRUD API
The .explain() method in the shell works with some write methods (update, remove, findAndModify), but it doesn't work with the newer CRUD API.
The missing explain methods are:
"deleteMany",
"deleteOne",
"findOne",
"findOneAndDelete",
"findOneAndReplace",
"findOneAndUpdate",
"insertMany",
"insertOne",
"replaceOne",
"updateMany",
"updateOne"I think this would be especially helpful for new hires: explain is a good way to quickly find the code that implements a command.

Option to show date in local timezone
Currently MongoDB is storing date and time in UTC - which is good and should be that way.
However, from the presentation (either via Compass/Shell), there should be a way to show the date and time based on locale time zone settings or an option to switch from UTC to local time zone.So for people who consume data right from MongoDB, they don't get confused with the data differences between UTC and their local time zone.

creating an option to import csv files with semicolon separator
There isn't an option to specify semicolon as delimiter on mongo shell when importing csv files. We are forced to import through MongoDB Compass when file has semicolon separator.
