Dulwich ~ push to a certain branch

I would like to do the following with dulwich in an existing git repo:

I read the documentation and also this post on SO, but I don't get it. Can someone explain how to chose a specific branch to push to?

Thanks

Solution

  • During the push phase, you can specify how you would like to update the refs in the remote repository.

    E.g. (untested)::

     from dulwich.client import get_transport_and_path
 from dulwich.repo import Repo
 repo = Repo(".")
 client, path = get_transport_and_path("git+ssh://git@github.com/jelmer/foo")
 def update_refs(refs):
     refs["refs/heads/somebranch"] = repo["refs/heads/somebranch"].id
 client.send_pack(path, update_refs, repo.object_store.generate_pack_data)
