Now I want to create a code pipeline in the same way but in the code pipeline, a branch name is required, I want to trigger pipeline with tags

Answer

You can just use any branch name and remove that afterwards eg.:

Find out the name of the webhook: `aws codepipeline list-webhooks`
De-register: `aws codepipeline deregister-webhook-with-third-party --webhook-name `
Delete: `aws codepipeline delete-webhook --name `

Answer

If you are using CodeCommit as Repo you can use an EventBridge trigger to invoke your pipeline:
1. Create Eventbridge rule - here is an example rule:

```
{
  "source": ["aws.codecommit"],
  "detail-type": ["CodeCommit Repository State Change"],
  "resources": ["arn:aws:codecommit:{{region}}:{{account_id}}:Test-Repo"],
  "detail": {
    "event": ["referenceCreated", "referenceUpdated"],
    "repositoryName": ["Test-Repo"],
    "referenceType": ["tag"],
    "referenceName": [{
      "prefix": "dev"
    }]
  }
}
```

2. Configuring the CodePipeline target by providing the ARN of the created pipeline.

Here are the docs for Eventbrdige: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/

If you are using GitHub you may use a github action for the specific tag and inside the action you can use the [AWS CodePipeline Trigger](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/aws-codepipeline-trigger)
