AWS DevOps Blog

Customers can migrate their AWS CodeCommit Git repositories to other Git providers using several methods. This blog describes a basic use case to mirror a repository to a generic provider and links to instructions for mirroring to more specific providers. The exact steps could vary depending on your target Git provider.

Cloning the Repository

One straightforward method to migrate a repository is by cloning it. Clone the CodeCommit repository to your local machine, and then push it to the new Git provider. This method is particularly useful for simpler projects or small repositories without complex branch structures.

Mirroring the Repository

Repository mirroring can be an effective way to migrate while keeping the original repository intact. Mirroring ensures that all commits, branches, and tags from the source repository are replicated in the target repository. This method is beneficial for larger projects or teams needing to maintain continuity during the transition.

Migrating Specific Branches

In some cases, you may only want to migrate specific branches instead of the entire repository. This can be done by using Git’s built-in commands to push only the desired branches to the new Git provider. This approach can be useful for projects that have a clear separation of active development and legacy branches.

Building with AWS requires you to interact with and manipulate your AWS resources. While many AWS customers use AWS Cloud9 for these tasks, developers often prefer working within their own Integrated Development Environment (IDE). This blog discusses how to migrate from AWS Cloud9 to AWS IDE Toolkits or AWS CloudShell.

Advantages of AWS IDE Toolkits

AWS IDE Toolkits allow developers to work within their preferred development environment. These toolkits integrate seamlessly with popular IDEs like Visual Studio Code and JetBrains, providing direct access to AWS services. This minimizes context switching and enhances productivity.

Using AWS CloudShell

AWS CloudShell offers a browser-based shell that you can use to manage your AWS resources. It comes pre-installed with popular AWS CLI tools and SDKs, making it a convenient option for developers who prefer a command-line interface. Notably, AWS CloudShell removes the need for local configuration and maintenance.
