You can edit the triggers that have been created for a CodeCommit repository. You can change the events and branches for the trigger, the action taken in response to the event, and other settings.

## Edit a trigger for a repository (console)
<a name="how-to-notify-edit-console"></a>

1. Open the CodeCommit console at [https://console.www.amazonaws.cn/codesuite/codecommit/home](https://console.www.amazonaws.cn/codesuite/codecommit/home).

1. In **Repositories**, choose the repository where you want to edit a trigger for repository events.

1. In the navigation pane for the repository, choose **Settings**, and then choose **Triggers**.

1. From the list of triggers for the repository, choose the trigger you want to edit, and then choose **Edit**. 

1. Make the changes you want to the trigger, and then choose **Save**.

## Edit a trigger for a repository (Amazon CLI)
<a name="how-to-notify-edit-cli"></a>

1. At a terminal (Linux, OS X, or Unix) or command prompt (Windows), run the **get-repository-triggers** command to create a JSON file with the structure of all of the triggers configured for your repository. For example, to create a JSON file named {{MyTriggers.json}} with the structure of all of the triggers configured for a repository named {{MyDemoRepo}}:

   ```
   aws codecommit get-repository-triggers --repository-name MyDemoRepo >MyTriggers.json
   ```

   This command returns nothing, but a file named {{MyTriggers.json}} is created in the directory where you ran the command.

1. Edit the JSON file in a plain-text editor and make changes to the trigger block of the trigger you want to edit. Replace the `configurationId` pair with a `repositoryName` pair. Save the file.

   For example, if you want to edit a trigger named {{MyFirstTrigger}} in the repository named {{MyDemoRepo}} so that it applies to all branches, replace `configurationId` with `repositoryName`, and remove the specified `main` and `preprod` branches in {{red italic text}}. By default, if no branches are specified, the trigger applies to all branches in the repository:

   ```
   {
       "repositoryName": "{{MyDemoRepo}}", 
       "triggers": [
           {
               "destinationArn": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-2:111122223333:MyCodeCommitTopic", 
               "branches": [{{
                   "main", 
                   "preprod"}}
               ], 
               "name": "MyFirstTrigger", 
               "customData": "", 
               "events": [
                   "all"
               ]
           }  
       ]
   }
   ```

1. At the terminal or command line, run the **put-repository-triggers** command. This updates all triggers for the repository, including the changes you made to the {{MyFirstTrigger}} trigger:

   ```
   aws codecommit put-repository-triggers --repository-name {{MyDemoRepo}} file://{{MyTriggers.json}}
   ```

   This command returns a configuration ID, similar to the following:

   ```
   {
       "configurationId": "{{0123456-I-AM-AN-EXAMPLE}}"
   }
   ```
