AWS CodeCommit

!!! warning "No new features for the Codecommit platform" In July 2024, Amazon deprecated the CodeCommit platform. In November 2025, Amazon re-instated support for CodeCommit. Since July 2024, CodeCommit is in a "feature freeze", and Amazon re-instating support for CodeCommit as of November 2025 does not currently change that. The Renovate maintainers have decided that we will not add any new features unless a company is willing to contribute feature(s) for CodeCommit and maintain them. For more details see Discussion 39741.

Authentication

IAM Role

Machine pre-requisites

1. Install the aws-cli program on the machine.
2. Set up the environment with the git-credentials-helper:
   • For EC2 or Linux: EC2 codecommit git integration.
   • For Windows: windows codecommit git integration.
3. Set the environment variable AWS_REGION.

Codebuild Configuration

env: git-credential-helper:yes

IAM User

First, you must get an AWS IAM Access Key id and a Secret access key id. After that, let Renovate use the AWS CodeCommit authentication keys, by picking one of these methods:

• Create a Renovate config file (config.js)
• Set the environment with all required AWS environment variables
• Set AWS credentials with CLI parameters

Method 1: Create a Renovate config file (config.js)

username: AWS IAM access key id
password: AWS Secret access key
endpoint: the URL endpoint e.g https://git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/
token: AWS session token, if you have one

Method 2: Set the environment with all required AWS environment variables

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: AWS IAM access key id
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: AWS Secret access key
AWS_REGION: the AWS region e.g us-east-1
AWS_SESSION_TOKEN: AWS session token, if you have one

Method 3: Set AWS credentials with CLI parameters

--username: AWS IAM access key id
--password: AWS Secret access key
--endpoint: the URL endpoint for example https://git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/
--token: AWS session token, if you have one

Permissions

Create a new AWS policy for Renovate with these permissions, then attach it to the user/role.

Change the Resource value to the resources you want to use:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "RenovatePolicy",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "codecommit:DeleteCommentContent",
        "codecommit:UpdatePullRequestDescription",
        "codecommit:GitPull",
        "codecommit:ListPullRequests",
        "codecommit:GetCommentsForPullRequest",
        "codecommit:ListRepositories",
        "codecommit:UpdatePullRequestTitle",
        "codecommit:GetFile",
        "codecommit:UpdateComment",
        "codecommit:GetRepository",
        "codecommit:CreatePullRequest",
        "codecommit:CreatePullRequestApprovalRule",
        "codecommit:GitPush",
        "codecommit:UpdatePullRequestStatus",
        "codecommit:GetPullRequest"
      ],
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}

Running Renovate

Once you have followed method 1, 2 or 3, and have set up the permissions, you're ready to configure Renovate:

• Set platform: 'codecommit'
• Set repositories: ['{repository, names, separated, by, comma}'], or use Renovate’s autodiscover feature

You're ready to run Renovate now, and it will process your repositories.

Unsupported platform features/concepts

These Renovate features are not supported on Codecommit:

• Adding assignees to PRs
• Automerge
• rebaseLabel (request a rebase for Renovate)

Recommendations

Limit the number of open Renovate PRs by setting a prConcurrentLimit.

If you close a PR but don’t want Renovate to recreate the PR later, then use package rules with the "enabled": false key. This workaround is needed due to platform limitations.

Example configuration

module.exports = {
  endpoint: 'https://git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/',
  platform: 'codecommit',
  repositories: ['abc/def', 'abc/ghi'],
  username: 'ACCESS_KEY_ID_GOES_HERE',
  password: 'SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_GOES_HERE',
  token: 'AWS_SESSION_TOKEN_GOES_HERE',
  gitAuthor: 'your_email@domain',
  packageRules: [
    {
      matchPackageNames: ['package_name', 'package_name2'],
      enabled: false,
    },
  ],
};

CodeBuild examples

Create a repository with a buildspec.yml file in it. This repository will be your BuildProject job repository to run Renovate on your repositories.

Renovate Docker buildspec.yml

version: 0.2
env:
  shell: bash
  git-credential-helper: yes
  variables:
    RENOVATE_PLATFORM: 'codecommit'
    RENOVATE_REPOSITORIES: '["repoName1", "repoName2"]'
    RENOVATE_CONFIG: '{"extends":["config:recommended"]}'
    LOG_LEVEL: 'debug'
    AWS_REGION: 'us-east-1'
phases:
  build:
    on-failure: CONTINUE
    commands:
      - docker run --rm -e AWS_REGION -e RENOVATE_CONFIG -e RENOVATE_PLATFORM -e RENOVATE_REPOSITORIES -e LOG_LEVEL renovate/renovate

Renovate CLI buildspec.yml

version: 0.2
env:
  shell: bash
  git-credential-helper: yes
  variables:
    RENOVATE_PLATFORM: 'codecommit'
    RENOVATE_REPOSITORIES: '["repoName1", "repoName2"]'
    RENOVATE_CONFIG: '{"extends":["config:recommended"]}'
    LOG_LEVEL: 'debug'
    AWS_REGION: 'us-east-1'
phases:
  build:
    on-failure: CONTINUE
    commands:
      - npm install -g renovate
      - renovate

Notes

To keep BuildProject processing times reasonable, we recommend that you install Renovate on the BuildProject Renovate job repository. This also avoids running the npm install command.

You can add the config.js global config to the repository.

You can add the BuildProject repository to the RENOVATE_REPOSITORIES variable and get updates on new Renovate versions.
