Start running builds automatically (Amazon CLI)

If your source code is stored in a GitHub or a GitHub Enterprise Server repository, you can use GitHub webhooks to have Amazon CodeBuild rebuild your source code whenever a code change is pushed to the repository.

Run the create-webhook command as follows:

aws codebuild create-webhook --project-name <project-name>

<project-name> is the name of the build project that contains the source code to be rebuilt.

For GitHub, information similar to the following appears in the output:

{
  "webhook": {
    "url": "<url>"
  }
}

<url> is the URL to the GitHub webhook.

For GitHub Enterprise Server, information similar to the following appears in the output:

  1. Copy the secret key and payload URL from the output. You need them to add a webhook in GitHub Enterprise Server.

  2. In GitHub Enterprise Server, choose the repository where your CodeBuild project is stored. Choose Settings, choose Hooks & services, and then choose Add webhook.

  3. Enter the payload URL and secret key, accept the defaults for the other fields, and then choose Add webhook.
