This is something that I planned to do for some time, but finally manage to do it today.</p>
<p>Amazon announced CodeCommit in autumn 2014, but release it in July last year, almost a year ago. All of my private projects are personal projects, without collaborators and that means that I had no use for a single additional GitHub feature except having Git server. There is no point of having pull requests and issue tracker if you are only contributor. Because <abbr title="Amazon Web Services">AWS</abbr> CodeCommit is free for first 5 users with unlimited private repositories, choice was clear. Also, everything that I make for myself, I host on <abbr title="Amazon Web Services">AWS</abbr> and having single bill for everything and tight integration with the other <abbr title="Amazon Web Services">AWS</abbr> products is great.</p>
<p><abbr title="Amazon Web Services">AWS</abbr> CodeCommit <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codecommit/latest/userguide/welcome.html">User guide</a> have complete documentation on how to set everything up and move your repositories there. I strongly suggest using SSH, not HTTPS. It's easy to setup and you'll have less problems if you are not using <abbr title="Command line interface">CLI</abbr> git.</p>
