.. py:method:: CodeCommit.Client.get_repository(**kwargs)

  

  Returns information about a repository.

   

  .. note::

    

    The description field for a repository accepts all HTML characters and all valid Unicode characters. Applications that do not HTML-encode the description and display it in a webpage can expose users to potentially malicious code. Make sure that you HTML-encode the description field in any application that uses this API to display the repository description on a webpage.
