I'm using Atlassian's SourceTree to work with git on Mac OS, and choose AWS CodeCommit as the remote hosting server.
Following these steps for HTTPs connection between AWS and my local repo,
here's how my git config --global --edit
looks like:
Then try to clone a created empty repo from AWS to SourceTree:
And I get error printed out:
abort: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden aws --profile default codecommit
credential-helper $@ get: aws: command not found fatal: unable to
access
'https://git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/my-git-repo/':
The requested URL returned error: 403
UPDATE
Tried the answer provided by @Steffen Opel and got more like:
Did I miss anything?
I have not tested this, but given AWS CodeCommit facilitates a credential helper too and the error beingcommand not found
, I would assume you are affected by the same issue outlined in the SourceTree Knowledge Base article Credential helpers "git: 'credential-osxkeychain' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.":
The error [...] occurs because Git calls this helper and cannot find
it meaning it has been defined and yet not found on the PATH. In terms
of SourceTree as of version 1.6.3 this is nothing to worry about.
There's two ways to stop this from happening.
- Not recommended, but if you're solely using SourceTree for
everything you could remove the 'credential' setting from the
/usr/local/git/etc/gitconfig config. This is a quick and easy
method, but it does mean operations at the terminal may not be able
to authenticate.
Recommended, create a symlink between
git-credential-osxkeychain in the SourceTree app resources and your
local git install.
ln -s /usr/local/git/bin/git-credential-osxkeychain
/Applications/SourceTree.app/Contents/Resources/git_local/bin/git-credential-osxkeychain
Of course, since AWS CodeCommit requires the credential helper to be in place, only solution 2 is conceptually applicable for your scenario and you need to adjust the link source and targets as appropriate for the CodeCommit credential helper.
seems about right. the "command not found" is the problem.
I would say that aws is not in the path, and when the credential helper tries to help it cannot find it. double check it's in the path by doing which aws
I just found this answer here (https://geekprotem.com/2015/07/10/aws-codecommit-with-sourcetree/)
After following the setup steps for AWS CLI on Amazon's website, the final step to get this to work was editing my repository's config file in SourceTree to include the following:
[credential]
helper = /usr/local/bin/aws codecommit credential-helper $@
UseHttpPath = true
