Is is possible to generate static Git credentials for HTTPS connection to AWS CodeCommit using only the CLI and not the AWS Console?

Question

I want to generate a git username/password for CodeCommit, I see how to do that from the AWS Web Console , but is there a way to do it via the aws cli?

Answer 1

You can use aws iam create-service-specific-credential, documented here

 aws iam create-service-specific-credential --service-name codecommit.amazonaws.com --user-name xxxxxx
{
    "ServiceSpecificCredential": {
        "CreateDate": "2022-10-28T12:19:19+00:00",
        "ServiceName": "codecommit.amazonaws.com",
        "ServiceUserName": "xxxxxx-at-yyyyyyyyyyyy",
        "ServicePassword": "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ",
        "ServiceSpecificCredentialId": "LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL",
        "UserName": "xxxxxx",
        "Status": "Active"
    }
}

The ServiceUserName can be used as git user and ServicePassword can be used as git password.
