Question

How can I deploy a set of amplify files created by someone else to my AWS account?

I have an amplify project created by a complete stranger. There is no hosting involved. Only the backend authentication and functions exist. When I git clone the amplify project and try to do an amplify init or amplify push, the authentication and function categories are not recognized. I checked the files and there is definitely a set of auth and function files in the backend folder.

When I do amplify add function, the function I created shows up in amplify push. How do I deploy the existing auth and functions to amplify in my AWS account? Rebuilding every resource with amplify add would be ridiculous.

Since the actual source code resides at a confidential URL other than github You cannot specify the URL with amplify init --app.

How can I deploy a folder that exists on my local PC directly to my AWS account?

Make sure your AWS credentials are correctly configured for your project. You can update them using the AWS CLI or by checking your AWS configuration files.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

Navigate to your project directory

cd /path/to/your/project

Delete the Amplify folder

rm -rf amplify

After deleting the Amplify folder, restart your project and run the necessary Amplify commands to set up your project again.

#configure your amplify project amplify configure

Enter the access key of the newly created user: ? accessKeyId: # YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID ? secretAccessKey: # YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Initialize Amplify

amplify init
