How to use

In this example we run git init on a directory, add a .gitignore, and commit it.

import shutil, tempfile

def _git_init(g):
    if g.exists: return # Return early if git already initialised
    g.init(b='main')
    g.config('user.name', 'fastgit')
    g.config('user.email', 'fastgit@example.com')
    (g.d/".gitignore").mk_write("*.bak")
    g.add(".gitignore")
    g.commit(m="add .gitignore")

td = tempfile.mkdtemp()
g = Git(td)
_git_init(g)
assert 'add .gitignore' in g.last_commit
print(g.branch('--show-current'))

main

You can also pass path arguments after -- using the __ parameter:

g.log('--oneline', __=['.gitignore'])

'22a9a5d add .gitignore'

shutil.rmtree(td)
