Python way to clone a git repository

by

Using GitPython will give you a good python interface to Git.

For example, after installing it (pip install gitpython), for cloning a new repository you can use clone_from function:

from git import Repo

Repo.clone_from(git_url, repo_dir)

See the GitPython Tutorial for examples on using the Repo object.

Note: GitPython requires git being installed on the system, and accessible via system’s PATH.
