Tags can help you identify and organize your AWS resources and manage access to them. For more information about tagging strategies, see [Tagging AWS Resources](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws_tagging.html). For examples of tag-based access policies, see [Example 5: Deny or allow actions on repositories with tags](customer-managed-policies.md#identity-based-policies-example-5).

## View tags for a repository (AWS CLI)
<a name="how-to-tag-repository-list-cli"></a>

Follow these steps to use the AWS CLI to view the AWS tags for a CodeCommit repository. If no tags have been added, the returned list is empty.

At the terminal or command line, run the **list-tags-for-resource** command. For example, to view a list of tag keys and tag values for a repository named *MyDemoRepo* with the ARN *arn:aws:codecommit:us-east-2:111111111111:MyDemoRepo*:

```
aws codecommit list-tags-for-resource --resource-arn arn:aws:codecommit:us-west-2:111111111111:MyDemoRepo
```

If successful, this command returns information similar to the following:

```
{
    "tags": {
        "Status": "Secret",
        "Team": "Saanvi"
    }
}
```
