What is CodeCommit?

• CodeCommit is a managed source control service by AWS that allows users to store, manage, and version their source code and artifacts securely and at scale. It supports Git, integrates with other AWS services, enables collaboration through branch and merge workflows, and provides audit logs and compliance reports to meet regulatory requirements and track changes. Overall, CodeCommit provides developers with a reliable and efficient way to manage their codebase and set up a CI/CD pipeline for their software development projects.

Task-01 :

• Set up a code repository on CodeCommit and clone it on your local.

• You need to set up GitCredentials in your AWS IAM.

• Use those credentials in your local and then clone the repository from CodeCommit

Set up a code repository on CodeCommit and clone it on your local.

• Log in to the AWS Management Console and navigate to CodeCommit.

• Click on the Download credentials button to download your Git credentials in your local system and click on 'close'.

  

• Git credentials are created successfully.

  

Use those credentials in your local and then clone the repository from CodeCommit

• In Code Commit, Go inside the repository that you created in the above steps, in the right-hand side click on 'Clone URL' and copy the HTTPS of Repository.

  

• Open a terminal on your local machine.

  Navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository.

  Run the following command:

• Add the new file to your local branch using the following command:

    git add <filename>
  
    # Check the status of your file 
    git status
  

  

• Commit the changes to your local branch using the following command:

    git commit -m "added new test file"
  

  

Push the local changes to the CodeCommit repository.

• Push the changes from your local branch to the CodeCommit repository using the following command:

    git push origin master
  

  

• Verify that the changes have been pushed to the CodeCommit repository.

  Go to the code commit repository that you created earlier, you should see the new file listed in the repository's files.
