Is it possible to use an AWS CodeStar connection via the SDK to pull code?

Question

Is it possible to use an existing AWS CodeStar Connection in code to pull a repo outside of using it in CodePipeline?

I have a CodeBuild project that I want to trigger via an automated process with different environment variable values, and the only way I see of being able to pull the code into the CodeBuild execution is a git pull in the build container. The pull would require a Personal Access Token that would in turn need to be updated periodically.

Thoughts?

If I understand correctly, goal is to use the connection you have set up in AWS (CodeStar) in order to run something like

git clone aws-codestar-connection-url

Disclaimer, I have not tried this myself. Have a look if this gives a hint or two. Suggests it is (or was) possible: https://pooya.io/how-to-access-github-and-bitbucket-using-aws-codestar/

Important note - CodeStar itself was discontinued, so the above suggestion may be out and connections might by fully integrated to
