How to manage AWS CodeCommit via AWS CLI?

AWS CodeCommit Securely creates highly scalable private Git repositories and collaborates on code. We can manage AWS CodeCommit via AWS CLI in the below-mentioned 11 steps.

Pre-requisites: Already configured AWS CLI, and git for performing all the functions and cloning the repo.

The steps to manage AWS CodeCommit via AWS CLI are as follows:

1. List the CodeCommit Repository
2. Make a Repository
3. Obtain Information About a Repository
4. Repository for Cloning
5. List Branches
6. Obtain information on a specific branch
7. Find out more about the commit to our repository
8. Form a Branch
9. Update Default Branch
10. Branch Removal
11. CodeCommit Repository Delete

Let’s look into the details of each step one by one.

List the CodeCommit Repository

We can use the below code to display CodeCommit Repository (Here, we can see no repository):

$ aws codecommit list-repositories

Make a Repository

Now to create a repository, we can use the below code:

$ aws codecommit create-repository --repository-name <name>

Obtain Information About a Repository

To get more information about the repository, we can use the below code:

$ aws codecommit get-repository --repository-name demorepo

Repository for Cloning

Go to AWS Codecommit and copy the cloning link from here. Inside the repository, create a file and push it into the repository.

$ cd demorepo
$ touch myfile
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "added my first file"
$ git push

List Branches

To display a branch of any repository, we can use the below code:

$ aws codecommit list-branches --repository-name demorepo

Obtain information on a specific branch

Here we will get a commit-id which we can use for further commands.

$ aws codecommit get-branch --repository-name demorepo --branch-name <branch-name>

Find out more about the commit to our repository

We can use the below code:

$ aws codecommit get-commit --repository-name demorepo --commit-id <id>

Form a Branch

For creating the branch in our repository, use the below code:

$ aws codecommit create-branch --repository-name demorepo --branch-name <branch-name> --commit-id <id>

We can verify it by listing the branches by using this command:

$ aws codecommit list-repositories

The branch is created successfully.

Update Default Branch

Use the below command to update the default branch:

$ aws codecommit update-default-branch --repository-name demorepo --default-branch-name <branch-name>

Branch Removal

We can delete a branch using the code:

$ aws codecommit delete-branch --repository-name demorepo --branch-name <branch-name>

CodeCommit Repository Delete

After typing in the following command, when we list the repositories again, we will find an empty list.

$ aws codecommit delete-repository --repository-name demorepo
$ aws codecommit list-repositories

We have completed the task of managing AWS CodeCommit via AWS CLI. We can try more commands by using the help command if we like.
