💡 Definition

AWS CodeCommit ids a fully managed source control service that hosts secure Git-based repositories. It makes it easy for teams to collaborate on code in a secure and highly scalable ecosystem.

🔑 Key Concepts

Git-based: Standard Git commands work (git clone, git push, git pull).
Secure: Encrypted at rest and in transit. Integrated with IAM for access control.
Highly Available: Backed by S3 for high durability.
Private: Hosts private repositories (no public repos like GitHub).

⚙️ How it Works

Create Repository: Create a repo in the console or CLI.
Clone: Clone the repo to your local machine using HTTPS (with Git credentials) or SSH.
Commit & Push: Work on your code and push changes back to CodeCommit.

🎯 Use Cases

Source Control: Storing application code, CloudFormation templates, and config files.
Collaboration: Pull requests, branch management, and code reviews.

💰 Pricing Model

Users: First 5 users are free. Additional users charged per month.
Storage/Requests: Charges apply for storage and API requests beyond the free tier limits.
