Explanation:
Use Git credentials generated from IAM - CodeCommit repositories are Git-based and support the basic functionalities of Git such as Git credentials. AWS recommends that you use an IAM user when working with CodeCommit. You can access CodeCommit with other identity types, but the other identity types are subject to limitations.
The simplest way to set up connections to AWS CodeCommit repositories is to configure Git credentials for CodeCommit in the IAM console, and then use those credentials for HTTPS connections. You can also use these same credentials with any third-party tool or individual development environment (IDE) that supports HTTPS authentication using a static user name and password.
An IAM user is an identity within your Amazon Web Services account that has specific custom permissions. For example, an IAM user can have permissions to create and manage Git credentials for accessing CodeCommit repositories. This is the recommended user type for working with CodeCommit. You can use an IAM user name and password to sign in to secure AWS webpages like the AWS Management Console, AWS Discussion Forums, or the AWS Support Center.
