I have a Git repository URL and a branch name.
Using GitPython how do I get all the commits from the branch?
From https://gitpython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorial.html
Meet the Repo type
The first step is to create a
git.Repo
object to represent your repository.from git import Repo # rorepo is a Repo instance pointing to the git-python repository. # For all you know, the first argument to Repo is a path to the repository # you want to work with repo = Repo(self.rorepo.working_tree_dir) assert not repo.bare
In the above example, the directory
self.rorepo.working_tree_dir
equals/Users/mtrier/Development/git-python
and is my working repository which contains the.git
directory. You can also initialize GitPython with a bare repository.

The Commit object
Commit
objects contain information about a specific commit. Obtain commits using references as done in Examining References or as follows.Obtain commits at the specified revision
repo.commit('master') repo.commit('v0.8.1') repo.commit('HEAD~10')
...
I would suggest reading the tutorial I quoted and at least the entire The Commit Object section of it. (https://gitpython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorial.html#the-commit-object)
