To handle repository migration from other version control systems to AWS CodeCommit, follow these steps:
1. Create a new CodeCommit repository.
2. Clone the existing repository locally using the appropriate tool (e.g., git clone for Git repositories).
3. Add the CodeCommit repository as a remote in your local repository (e.g., git remote add codecommit ).
4. Push the local repository to the CodeCommit remote (e.g., git push –all codecommit).
Challenges during this process may include:
– Large repositories: Migrating large repositories might take significant time and bandwidth.
– History preservation: Ensuring that commit history is preserved during migration.
– Access control: Configuring user access and permissions in CodeCommit to match the previous system.
– Integrations: Updating continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines and other integrations to work with CodeCommit.
