Have you had a chance to work with Git? If so, did you know that you can work with your git repository from within python script?

GitPython python library does exactly this job:

Few days ago we talk about gitPython to work with git inside of python. The code below is a sample that would do all routine tasks like pulling and pushing or commit.

1- Initiate git object in python by providing path:

from git import Repo
 repo = Repo(repo_path)

2- If you want to pull results from git repo:

repo.git.pull('origin', 'refs/heads/dev')

3- Let's say you want to set username and email for git author:

config = repo.config_writer()
 config.set_value("user", "email", author_email)
 config.set_value("user", "name", author_name)

4- Now to add a specific file to staged:

index = repo.index
 index.add([file_path])

5- Commit the staged file with a message:

index.commit(commit_message)

6- The final step is to push to a remote repo:

repo.git.push('origin', 'refs/heads/dev')
