Branch

Source: src/AWS/Amplify/Branch.ts

A branch of an AWS Amplify Hosting app.

For apps without a connected Git repository, a branch is the target of the manual-deploy pipeline: stage a zip with CreateDeployment, upload it to the pre-signed URL, and release it with StartDeployment.

Creating Branches

Manual-Deploy Branch

const app = yield* App("MySite", { platform: "WEB" });
const branch = yield* Branch("Main", {
  appId: app.appId,
  branchName: "main",
  stage: "PRODUCTION",
  enableAutoBuild: false,
});

Password-Protected Branch with Content TTL

const branch = yield* Branch("Preview", {
  appId: app.appId,
  branchName: "preview",
  stage: "DEVELOPMENT",
  ttl: "10 minutes",
  enableBasicAuth: true,
  // base64 of "user:password"
  basicAuthCredentials: Redacted.make(credentials),
});
