The easiest way to get started with CodeCommit is to follow the steps in [Getting started with CodeCommit ](getting-started-cc.md). If you are new to Git and CodeCommit, you should also consider following the steps in [Getting started with Git and CodeCommit](getting-started.md). This helps you familiarize yourself with CodeCommit and the basics of using Git when interacting with your CodeCommit repositories.

You can also follow the tutorial in [Simple Pipeline Walkthrough with CodePipeline and CodeCommit](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/codepipeline/latest/userguide/getting-started-cc.html) to learn how to use your CodeCommit repository as part of a continuous delivery pipeline.

The tutorials in this section are written with the assumption that you have completed the [prerequisites and setup](setting-up.md), including:
+ Assigning permissions to the IAM user.
+ Setting up credential management for HTTPS or SSH connections on the local machine you are using for this tutorial.
+ Configuring the Amazon CLI if you want to use the command line or terminal for all operations, including creating the repository.
