Easy to use git utility for python.
Just instantiate a pygit object with git = PyGit("/path/to/repo/") and use git as you would normally.
Returns stdout from git as a list.
>>> from pygit import PyGit
>>> git = PyGit("/path/to/repo/")
>>> git("checkout master")
[ "Switched to branch 'master'", "Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'."]
>>> git("describe --tags")
['1.4.0-rev23']
>>> git("tag --contains ex4m9le*c00m1t*h4Sh")
['1.4.0-rev23', 'MY-SECOND-TAG-rev1']pip install git+git://github.com/mijdavis2/pygit.gitIn requirements.txt file:
