aws-cdk-pipelines-github-connection.js

// Connecting to GitHub as source in a CDK Pipeline

// Method 1 - Personal Access Token and Secret.
// Create a Personal Access Token in GitHub.
// Store the Token in a Secrets Manager Secret, then:
new CodePipeline(this, 'DemoPipeline', {
    synth: new ShellStep('Synth', {
        input: CodePipelineSource.gitHub('owner/reponame', 'branchname', {
            authentication: SecretValue.secretsManager('SecretName', { jsonField: 'TOKEN_FIELD' }),
            trigger: GitHubTrigger.WEBHOOK,
        }),
        commands: [
            'npm ci',
            'npm run build',
            'npx cdk synth',
        ],
    }),
});

// Method 2 - AWS Connector for GitHub (recommended)
// Create a Connector in your Pipeline Account, then:
new CodePipeline(this, 'DemoPipeline', {
    synth: new ShellStep('Synth', {
        input: CodePipelineSource.connection('owner/reponame', 'branchname', {
            connectionArn,
        }),
        commands: [
            'npm ci',
            'npm run build',
            'npx cdk synth',
        ],
    }),
});
