A layer
for AWS Lambda that allows your functions to use git
and ssh
binaries.
You can add this layer to any Lambda function you want.
PATH
already includes /opt/bin
in Lambda, which is where it will be mounted.
Click on Layers and choose "Add a layer", and "Provide a layer version
ARN" and enter the following ARN (replace us-east-1
with the region of your Lambda):
arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:553035198032:layer:git:9
Note: If you're using the nodejs10.x
, nodejs12.x
, python3.8
, or java11
runtimes, then you'll need to use a slightly different layer:
arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:553035198032:layer:git-lambda2:3
(again, replacing us-east-1
with the region of your Lambda)
Then click Add, save your lambda and test it out!

ssh
always tries to create a .ssh
directory – this is something you can't avoid, nor can you specify your own destination for this – which means you'll see a warning similar to the following:
Could not create directory '/home/sbx_user1075/.ssh'.
You can ignore this warning – ssh
should continue to execute past this point, assuming you have the UserKnownHostsFile
option correct and it contains the signature of the host you're trying to connect to. Alternatively, you can use -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no
if you're not concerned about MiTM attacks.
