Learn how to set up AWS CodeCommit seamlessly with these step-by-step instructions, ensuring smooth integration and efficient collaboration for your development projects.
Before you begin configuring AWS CodeCommit, make sure you have the following:
Prerequisites:
Now, let's dive into the step-by-step process:
Start by logging into your AWS Management Console and navigating to the CodeCommit service. Click on "Create repository" and provide a name for your repository. Then, simply click on "Create repository" to proceed.
To access your repository, you'll need to create an IAM user with the necessary permissions. Go to the IAM service in your AWS Management Console. From the navigation pane, select "Users" and click on "Add user." Choose a username and select "Programmatic access." Proceed to the permissions step and attach the "AWSCodeCommitPowerUser" policy. Complete the setup and download the user's credentials.
aws configure
For secure access to your repository, you'll need to generate an SSH key pair.
cd ~/.ssh
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
cat ~/.ssh/codecommit_rsa.pub
Now, let's upload the public key to your IAM user:
Configure your SSH client to utilize the key when connecting to CodeCommit:
vi ~/.ssh/config
<SSH key ID>
with the previously noted ID and <region>
with your AWS region:Host git-codecommit.<region>.amazonaws.com
User <SSH key ID>
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/codecommit_rsa
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config
Finally, clone your repository using the git clone
command. Replace <region>
with your AWS region and <repository-name>
with the name of your repository. Run the command in your terminal:
git clone ssh://git-codecommit.<region>.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/<repository-name>
By following these steps, you've successfully configured AWS CodeCommit and established a secure connection using SSH keys. Now you can start collaborating on your code projects using Git commands
