gitpython - how to check if a remote branch exists?

问题

I'm new to gitpython and haven't been able to find a reference to this anywhere. What I'm looking to do is something like:

If remote branch name exists:
  do something
else:
  do something else

Any suggestions?

This may not work, but give it a shot let me know how it goes:

does_exist = True
try:
    repo.git.checkout('branch_name')
except repo.exc.GitCommandError:
    does_exist = False

print(does_exist)

This may also work but give it a try:

repo.git.rev_parse('--verify', 'branch_name')

Thanks Muadh! I was able to get this to work:

try:
    repo.git.checkout( 'origin/' + branch_name, b=branch_name )
except:
    repo.git.checkout( 'origin/master', b=branch_name )
