Amazon CodeCommit credential helper - command not found

Question

I have a CodeCommit repo that I'm trying to connect to from the command line of Windows 7.

My intention is to use the aws configure / aws credential helper method as I prefer this, in this context, to a username / password.

When attempting any git operations I get:

aws codecommit credential-helper $@ get: aws: command not found

I'm then able to then use a username and password but this invalidates the point of using aws configure to set up access keys.

The credentials section of my .gitconfig file looks like this:

[credential]
    helper = !aws codecommit credential-helper $@
    UseHttpPath = true

It looks like git can't access aws.cmd but the full path to it is on the system and user path environment settings.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

It seems like a recent update of the AWS CLI for windows possibly removed something.

Can you try this as a workaround?

[credential]
    helper = !'C:\\Program Files\\Amazon\\AWSCLI\\bin\\aws.cmd' codecommit credential-helper $@
    UseHttpPath = true
