# Command line reference for AWS CodeBuild
<a name="cmd-ref"></a>

The AWS CLI provides commands for automating AWS CodeBuild. Use the information in this topic as a supplement to the [AWS Command Line Interface User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/) and the [AWS CLI Reference for AWS CodeBuild](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/codebuild/).

Not what you're looking for? If you want to use the AWS SDKs to call CodeBuild, see the [AWS SDKs and tools reference](sdk-ref.md).

To use the information in this topic, you should have already installed the AWS CLI and configured it for use with CodeBuild, as described in [Interact with CodeBuild using the AWS CLI](setting-up-cli.md).

 To use the AWS CLI to specify the endpoint for CodeBuild, see [Specify the AWS CodeBuild endpoint (AWS CLI)](endpoint-specify.md#endpoint-specify-cli).
