best way to do things like 'git gc' #1093
Description
Activity
IPython is unable to see what's possible as these options are generated on the fly.
Thus invoking
a_repo.git.gc()would be the idiomatic way to achieve that.Please feel free to keep commenting despite the issue being closed in case there is a follow up.
Ah.
Thanks!
And that, presumably, is also why IPython TAB completion didn't complete to ". . . .gc", when I tried that.So what might the "split=true" be in yours? I did a string split in mine, because the
executecommand seemed to want an iterable (like from space-separated command line arguments, I presume), rather than a string. But witha_repo.git.gc . . .there would be no additional arguments.Great to hear. The argument was a mistake.

I've already read "Using git directly".
But using IPython object introspection, it doesn't look like something like "gc" is a method there.
The following seems to work. Is that the recommended way?
a_repo.git.execute("git gc".split())
