AWS::CodeStar::GitHubRepository

The AWS::CodeStar::GitHubRepository resource creates a GitHub repository where users can store source code for use with AWS workflows. You must provide a location for the source code ZIP file in the AWS CloudFormation template, so the code can be uploaded to the created repository. You must have created a personal access token in GitHub to provide in the AWS CloudFormation template. AWS uses this token to connect to GitHub on your behalf.

GitHub Repository Resource Configuration

The following example for the AWS::CodeStar::GitHubRepository resource creates a private GitHub repository with issues enabled.

When passing secret parameters, do not enter the value directly into the template. The value is rendered as plain text and is readable. Instead, enter secret parameters using one of the following methods:

  • Pass the value in as a NoEcho parameter. For more information, see Referencing a Parameter in a Template.

  • Store the GitHub token in AWS Secrets Manager and retrieve it through the resource property. The following example shows the token ID as the parameter stored in AWS Secrets Manager with this value: resolve:secretsmanager:your-secret-manager-name:SecretString:your-secret-manager-key.
