How to clone from specific branch from Git using Gitpython

问题

I tried to clone a repository from git using GitPython in python function. I used GitPython library for cloning from git in my python function and my code snippet as follows:

from git import Repo

Repo.clone_from('http://user:password@github.com/user/project.git', /home/antro/Project/')

It clones from master branch. How do I clone from other branch using GitPython or any other library is available to clone from individual branches? Please let me know.

I am aware of clone by mentioning branch in commandline using

git clone -b branch http://github.com/user/project.git

回答1:

just pass the branch name parameter, e.g. :-

repo = Repo.clone_from(
    'http://user:password@github.com/user/project.git',
    '/home/antro/Project/',
    branch='master'
)

see here for more info

From toanant's answer.

This works for me with the --single-branch option

repo = Repo.clone_from( 'http://user:password@github.com/user/project.git --single-branch', '/home/antro/Project/', branch='master' )
