Options

--repository-name (string)

The name of the repository that contains the file to delete.

--branch-name (string)

The name of the branch where the commit that deletes the file is made.

--file-path (string)

The fully qualified path to the file that to be deleted, including the full name and extension of that file. For example, /examples/file.md is a fully qualified path to a file named file.md in a folder named examples.

--parent-commit-id (string)

The ID of the commit that is the tip of the branch where you want to create the commit that deletes the file. This must be the HEAD commit for the branch. The commit that deletes the file is created from this commit ID.

--keep-empty-folders | --no-keep-empty-folders (boolean)

If a file is the only object in the folder or directory, specifies whether to delete the folder or directory that contains the file. By default, empty folders are deleted. This includes empty folders that are part of the directory structure. For example, if the path to a file is dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4, and dir2 and dir3 are empty, deleting the last file in dir4 also deletes the empty folders dir4, dir3, and dir2.

--commit-message (string)

The commit message you want to include as part of deleting the file. Commit messages are limited to 256 KB. If no message is specified, a default message is used.

--name (string)

The name of the author of the commit that deletes the file. If no name is specified, the user’s ARN is used as the author name and committer name.

--email (string)

The email address for the commit that deletes the file. If no email address is specified, the email address is left blank.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table
  • yaml
  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64
  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To delete a file

The following delete-file example demonstrates how to delete a file named README.md from a branch named main with a most recent commit ID of c5709475EXAMPLE in a repository named MyDemoRepo.

aws codecommit delete-file \
    --repository-name MyDemoRepo \
    --branch-name main \
    --file-path README.md \
    --parent-commit-id c5709475EXAMPLE

Output:

{
    "blobId":"559b44fEXAMPLE",
    "commitId":"353cf655EXAMPLE",
    "filePath":"README.md",
    "treeId":"6bc824cEXAMPLE"
}

For more information, see Edit or Delete a File in AWS CodeCommit in the AWS CodeCommit API Reference guide.
