GitPython get tree and blob object by sha

Question

I\'m using GitPython with a bare repository and I\'m trying to get specific git object by its SHA. If I used git directly, I would just do this

git ls-tree s

Try this:

   def read_file_from_branch(self, repo, branch, path, charset='ascii'):
            '''
            return the contents of a file in a branch, without checking out the
            branch
            '''
            if branch in repo.heads:
                blob = (repo.heads[branch].commit.tree / path)
                if blob:
                    data = blob.data_stream.read()
                    if charset:
                        return data.decode(charset)
                    return data
            return None
