AWS CodeCommit vs GitUp: What are the differences?

Developers describe AWS CodeCommit as "Fully-managed source control service that makes it easy for companies to host secure and highly scalable private Git repositories". CodeCommit eliminates the need to operate your own source control system or worry about scaling its infrastructure. You can use CodeCommit to securely store anything from source code to binaries, and it works seamlessly with your existing Git tools. On the other hand, GitUp is detailed as "The Git interface you've been missing all your life". GitUp lets you see your entire labyrinth of branches and merges with perfect clarity. Any change you make, large or small, even outside GitUp, is immediately reflected in GitUp's graph. No refreshing, no waiting.

AWS CodeCommit can be classified as a tool in the "Code Collaboration & Version Control" category, while GitUp is grouped under "Source Code Management Desktop Apps".

Some of the features offered by AWS CodeCommit are:

• Collaboration
• Encryption
• Access Control

On the other hand, GitUp provides the following key features:

• Highlight a commit and hit the spacebar to quickly see its message and diff.
• GitUp gives you full, transparent control over your local checkout, so it's easy to back out from unwanted changes.
• GitUp's Snapshot feature builds a Time-Machine-like history of every change made to your repo, allowing you to step backwards to any point in time.

"Free private repos" is the top reason why over 39 developers like AWS CodeCommit, while over 5 developers mention "Can edit commit messages" as the leading cause for choosing GitUp.
