AWS CodeCommit vs Git: What are the differences?
Developers describe AWS CodeCommit as "Fully-managed source control service that makes it easy for companies to host secure and highly scalable private Git repositories". CodeCommit eliminates the need to operate your own source control system or worry about scaling its infrastructure. You can use CodeCommit to securely store anything from source code to binaries, and it works seamlessly with your existing Git tools. On the other hand, Git is detailed as "Fast, scalable, distributed revision control system". Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
AWS CodeCommit can be classified as a tool in the "Code Collaboration & Version Control" category, while Git is grouped under "Version Control System".
"Free private repos" is the top reason why over 39 developers like AWS CodeCommit, while over 1441 developers mention "Distributed version control system" as the leading cause for choosing Git.
Git is an open source tool with 27.9K GitHub stars and 16.1K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Git's open source repository on GitHub.
According to the StackShare community, Git has a broader approval, being mentioned in 3891 company stacks & 4632 developers stacks; compared to AWS CodeCommit, which is listed in 24 company stacks and 17 developer stacks.
