A pull request in AWS CodeCommit is a collaborative code review mechanism that allows developers to propose changes to a repository and discuss them with team members before merging. It streamlines the process of reviewing, commenting, and approving code modifications.
The primary difference between a traditional Git pull request and an AWS CodeCommit pull request lies in their integration and features. While both follow the same basic concept, AWS CodeCommit offers additional benefits such as:
1. Seamless integration with other AWS services like CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, and CodePipeline.
2. Enhanced security through IAM policies and encryption options.
3. Simplified access management using AWS Management Console or CLI.
4. Built-in notifications for events related to pull requests via Amazon SNS.
5. Support for custom triggers and actions using AWS Lambda functions.
