# Set up connections from development tools using Git credentials
<a name="setting-up-ide"></a>

After you have configured Git credentials for Amazon CodeCommit in the IAM console, you can use those credentials with any development tool that supports Git credentials. For example, you can configure access to your CodeCommit repository in Amazon Cloud9, Visual Studio, Xcode, IntelliJ, or any integrated development environment (IDE) that integrates Git credentials. After you configure access, you can edit your code, commit your changes, and push directly from the IDE or other development tool. 

**Note**  
If you access CodeCommit repositories using federated access, temporary credentials, or a web idenity provider, you cannot use Git credentials. We recommend that you set up your local computer using the `git-remote-codecommit` command. However, not all IDEs are fully compatible with Git remote helpers such as **git-remote-codecommit**. If you encounter problems, see [Troubleshooting git-remote-codecommit and Amazon CodeCommit](troubleshooting-grc.md).

When prompted by your IDE or development tool for the user name and password used to connect to the CodeCommit repository, provide the Git credentials for **User name** and **Password** you created in IAM. 

For more information about Amazon Web Services Regions and endpoints for CodeCommit, see [Regions and Git connection endpoints](regions.md).

You might also see a prompt from your operating system to store your user name and password. For example, in Windows, you would provide your Git credentials as follows:
