    The same problem happened to me. I made a connection creating an "App installation" insead of the user.

    Create connection dialog in AWS Developer Tools

    For those of your confused by the answer given, here’s how it works:

    1. Go to the developer tools area in the aws console. This is the same place where CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy reside.

    2. Click on Settings > Connections in the menu on the left to get the page where you can create connections to repos like github.

    3. Create a new Github connection. It will give you the option of connecting to github as a "bot" or as a github user (see pic below). So you click on the Install a new app button to connect as a bot. I’m not really sure what that means but when I use that option, I don’t get the error above when I use this connection for my pipeline.

    All of this seems kind of hokey to me. I don’t really get what aws is doing here or why connecting as a github user doesn’t work but connecting as "bot" does. But I guess if it works it works right? ¯(ツ)/¯
