how do I commit and push to github from python shell?

Question

I have three .py files saved in the python shell/IDLE. I would like to commit and push them to my GitHub account/repo. Is this possible? and if so how?

To do it from macOS (Mac terminal) using the shell from python, you can do this:

#Import dependencies
from subprocess import call

#Commit Message
commit_message = "Adding sample files"

#Stage the file 
call('git add .', shell = True)

# Add your commit
call('git commit -m "'+ commit_message +'"', shell = True)

#Push the new or update files
call('git push origin master', shell = True)
