How to use AWS CodeCommit and CodeBuild.

what is codecommit and codebuild ?

CodeCommit – helps to store our code

CodeBuild- helps to building and testing our code

this is a brief introduction of codecommit and codebuilt now,

Let’s start how to use it

Step 1

To start any project you need to create the repository first, so click on the service category and then select developer tool then click CodeCommit

Step 2

First create a repository with the name “demo-app”. You can give a description about your application, also can add tag and if you want to review your code you can enable CodeGuru.Rightnow it is uncheck.

Step 3

Go to the IAM user and click security tab to give permission to add code the repository

After generating code you can now access to your CodeCommit

Step 4

Before pushing the code into CodeCommit add permission to the IAM user

Step 5

To push your code first clone your git repo under Clone url- clone HTTPS

Step 6

You can use any IDEs to develop your app and push the code into the repo, for now i am using VScode.create a folder and open it into VScode,then open the terminal and clone our repo

Now you can see your demo-app

Step 7

After cloning the repo, you might ask for credential information then add your credential information.

Now I am creating a simple index.html file to the repo and pushing into the CodeCommit repo.

The file is now visible into repository

Step 8

To build your app goto CodeBuild and click create project

Step 9

Now inside the create build project, first give a name of the project like “demo-app-build”

You can add some additional information, add some tags

Specify your primary source , it could be s3, github, CodeCommit, in my case i have choose CodeCommit then choose your repository.specify the branch and select the branch

In the Environment section I have chosen a managed image. You can choose your own custom image, operating system as ubuntu, runtime standard and image as latest.

To access all this configuration a new role is created by an IAM user as a service role, if you have any existing role you can choose or create a new one. If you want some changes like vpc

Privileges, compute certificates you can change in additional configuration.

Now you can create a build spec file to execute some commands, here i have created a buildspec.yml file and write certain commands to execute, the file is automatically executed when push on our repository. Here is the sample of “buildspec.yml” file
