GitPython and SSH Keys?

Question

How can I use GitPython along with specific SSH Keys?

The documentation isn\'t very thorough on that subject. The only thing I\'ve tried so far is Repo(path)

Answer 1

Following worked for me on gitpython==2.1.1

import os
from git import Repo
from git import Git

git_ssh_identity_file = os.path.expanduser('~/.ssh/id_rsa')
git_ssh_cmd = 'ssh -i %s' % git_ssh_identity_file

with Git().custom_environment(GIT_SSH_COMMAND=git_ssh_cmd):
     Repo.clone_from('git@....', '/path', branch='my-branch')
