CodeCommit in Action
Explore how to manage AWS CodeCommit repositories through the command line interface. Learn to create repositories, branches, and delete resources, while setting up IAM users for secure access. Gain practical experience with Git-based workflows integrated in AWS.
Overview
AWS CodeCommit lets us manage source code and other files right from the AWS Management Console, the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or using Git after connecting to a repository from a local machine. We will explore how to use the CLI to do the following:
- Create a new repository.
- Create a new branch.
- Delete a branch or repository.
Working with the CodeCommit repository
It is important to first create an IAM user with the privilege to interact with CodeCommit. We could create an IAM user with administrator privileges and then use the aws configure command to set credentials and continue creating resources using the AWS CLI.
