running git clone against AWS CodeCommits gets me a 403 error

Question

My local laptop is a Mac.

1. The ssh key is configured properly. This is the content of ~/.ssh/config

   Host barthea Hostname git-codecommit.us-east

Answer 1

On MAC, if above-mentioned tricks don't work, do the following:

1. Open Keychain Access
2. Search for CodeCommit. You should find this:

3. Select 'git-codecommit....' and press delete
4. Confirm the delete.

Now try again. It should work. You may have to do it again next time as well when you face the error 403.

One of the possible reason for this issue is the keychain password different than login password on your MAC.
