Demo: Creating Branches in CodeCommit Repository
Explore how to create and manage branches in AWS CodeCommit using AWS CLI commands. Understand the importance of branching strategies to keep your repository build-ready, switch default branches, and validate changes without affecting the master branch.
We'll cover the following...
It's essential to maintain the repository in a consistent state and “build-ready” all the time. This will allow the teams to deploy the code to production anytime.
