How can I pull a remote repository with GitPython?

Question

I am trying to find the way to pull a git repository using gitPython. So far this is what I have taken from the official docs here.

test_remote = repo.create_remote('test', 'git@server:repo.git') repo.delete_remote(test_remote) # create and delete remotes origin = repo.remotes.origin    # get default remote by name origin.refs                     # local remote references o = origin.rename('new_origin') # rename remotes o.fetch()                       # fetch, pull and push from and to the remote o.pull() o.push() 

The fact is that I want to access the repo.remotes.origin to do a pull withouth renaming it's origin (origin.rename) How can I achieve this? Thanks.

Answer 1

I managed this by getting the repo name directly:

 repo = git.Repo('repo_path')  o = repo.remotes.origin  o.pull() 

Answer 2

Hope you are looking for this :

import git g = git.Git('git-repo') g.pull('origin','branch-name') 

Pulls latest commits for the given repository and branch.
