Integrating Github Enterprise with AWS Codepipeline
UPDATE: An integration was finally released for github enterprise to work with AWS Codepipeline. Please see this answer by Pedreiro
As Sid Malani said in the comments, there's no straightforward or direct way to use a privately hosted GitHub Enterprise Repository in AWS CodePipeline.
One way would be to use CodeBuild, which allows to add custom github repositories which can then be used in CodePipeline. This, however, should only be considered as a stop-gap solution.
Thank you Sid Malani for the alternative strategy
I doubt AWS will ship this feature anytime soon (hopefully I eat my words) since the workaround is well-documented and works fine. The gist of it can be found here, which I'll summarize as follows:
- Create a CodeBuild project (which can take GitHub Enterprise as a source) which essentially just listens to a push event (webhook) of your development or master branch and outputs a .zip file of the source-code into an S3 bucket.
- Use the S3 bucket as the source of your CodePipeline.
