I have been asked to write a script that pulls the latest code from Git, makes a build, and performs some automated unit tests.
I found that there are two built-in Python modules for interacting with Git that are readily available: GitPython and libgit2.
What approach/module should I use?

If you need to perform some logic on the output of the commands then you would use the following subprocess call format. import subprocess PIPE = subprocess. PIPE branch = 'my_branch' process = subprocess. Popen(['git', 'pull', branch], stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE) stdoutput, stderroutput = process.
GitPython is a python library used to interact with git repositories. It is a module in python used to access our git repositories. It provides abstractions of git objects for easy access of repository data, and additionally allows you to access the git repository more directly using pure python implementation.
To run Python scripts with the python command, you need to open a command-line and type in the word python , or python3 if you have both versions, followed by the path to your script, just like this: $ python3 hello.py Hello World!
An easier solution would be to use the Python subprocess module to call git. In your case, this would pull the latest code and build:
import subprocess subprocess.call(["git", "pull"]) subprocess.call(["make"]) subprocess.call(["make", "test"]) Docs:

I agree with Ian Wetherbee. You should use subprocess to call git directly. If you need to perform some logic on the output of the commands then you would use the following subprocess call format.
import subprocess PIPE = subprocess.PIPE branch = 'my_branch' process = subprocess.Popen(['git', 'pull', branch], stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE) stdoutput, stderroutput = process.communicate() if 'fatal' in stdoutput: # Handle error case else: # Success!
